HC Deb 15 January 1986 vol 89 c579W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he plans to seek further controls over the use of nylon monofilament nets in Northern Ireland.

Dr. Boyson

It is illegal to use a net which is constructed of a single filament of synthetic material for the taking of salmon or freshwater fish in Northern Ireland. There are no plans to seek further controls at present.
