HC Deb 18 April 1989 vol 151 c129W
Mr. William Ross

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when he intends to extend the European Community salmonid designation to the tributary streams of the River Roe.

Mr. Needham

As explained in my answer of 1 March 1988 at column524, it is the Department's intention to extend designation of salmonid waters under the European Community directive 78/659/EEC as soon as resources permit. Consideration will then be given to designating the tributary streams of the River Roe together with other eligible rivers in Northern Ireland.
