HC Deb 13 July 1984 vol 63 c699W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what approaches have been made to his Department, either centrally or via the Faskally research station, by the promoters of the wild Scottish salmon conservation group; and what has been the response.

Mr. John Mackay

The officer in charge of the freshwater fisheries laboratory at Pitlochry recently received an invitation to be a founder member of a proposed new organisation to be known as the wild Scottish salmon conservation group. It would clearly be inappropriate for such an invitation to be accepted, and it was therefore declined.
