HC Deb 18 July 1988 vol 137 cc506-7W
Mr. Wilson

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will estimate, by local authority area, the loss of non-domestic rates revenue from salmon fishings resulting from Government amendments to the Local Government Finance Bill.

Mr. Lang

The detailed information requested is not available. The effect of the provisions for de-rating salmon fishings will depend on the creation of district salmon fishery boards in areas where these do not exist at present, and on the separate entry in the valuation roll of salmon fishing rights which are not so entered at present.
