HC Deb 21 May 1981 vol 5 cc148-9W
Mr. John MacKay

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has received any complaints on the use of nylon monofilament gill nets in the Firth of Clyde in fishings for demersal fish; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Younger

No such complaints have been received. The use of nylon monofilament gill nets is a legal method of fishing for demersal species of fish within British fishery limits.
