HC Deb 13 December 1982 vol 34 c47W
Mr. William Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether he will publish figures to show the value of angling to the Northern Ireland tourist industry in each of the past five years.

Mr. Adam Butler

Detailed information in the form requested is not readily available and could only be compiled at disproportionate cost. However the Northern Ireland tourist board estimates that, over the past three years, expenditure by tourists engaged in angling in the Province has been between £500,000 and £700,000 per annum.
