HC Deb 15 March 1973 vol 852 c384W
45. Mr. Atkinson

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is satisfied that coarse fish anglers are adequately represented on all river authorities in England and Wales and on all fish research councils.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

My right hon. Friend appoints fisheries members after full consultation with local organisations and other interests concerned. Appointments are not made specifically to reflect sectional interests but I am satisfied that coarse fishing is adequately represented.
