HL Deb 09 February 1987 vol 484 c505WA
Lady Saltoun of Abernethy

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What would be the cost to them of supplying, without dependence on private netting interests, the facilities which DAFS Freshwater Fisheries Laboratory, Faskally, Pitlochry, at present receives from certain private netting interests in order to conduct their research into salmon behaviour.

Lord Glenarthur

Detailed information is not available, but to provide the necessary facilities wholly from within the resources of the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries for Scotland would be likely to involve additional finance and manpower. The present arrangements are felt to operate satisfactorily.
