§ Mr. Peter Millsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if, in view of the dangers of illegal fishing in the South-West, he will seek powers to 93W restrict the outlets for the sale of salmon by licensing all salmon dealers and their premises.
§ Mr. BishopWater authorities already have power to control illegal salmon fishing in their areas, which extend six miles out to sea. The suggestion that salmon sales should be restricted to licensed dealers has been considered many times over the years, but we are doubtful whether a licensing system could be properly enforced without cumbersome and restrictive procedures on a national basis.
