HC Deb 07 March 1984 vol 55 c595W
Mr. Speller

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will estimate the tourist income from sea and from fresh water fishing in the county of Devon.

Mr. Norman Lamont

Tourist income from people taking fishing holidays in Devon is derived in a variety of ways. It includes expenditure on such items as hiring boats and tackle, the purchase, where appropriate, of licences and permits, and more indirectly the costs of travel, accommodation and food. I regret that estimates of all this expenditure are not available.
