HC Deb 11 December 1989 vol 163 cc452-3W
Mr. Mallon

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is the total number of(a) rivers and (b) lakes maintained by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries Division, in each district council area in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

[holding answer 7 December 1989]: The Department of Agriculture currently maintains a total of 61 waters consisting of rivers, lakes and reservoirs for angling by those members of the public who purchase a Department permit.

The location and details of all Department of Agriculture fisheries are published in an angling guide and I have arranged for a copy to be sent to the hon. Member.

It is not possible to allocate fisheries to individual district council areas as the information is not held in the form requested and some of the fisheries can run through two or more district council areas.

Mr. Mallon

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is the total number of Northern Ireland Civil Service employees who are classified by the equal opportunities unit as being either educated outside Northern Ireland or their religion was not known; and how many of these employees are employed at grade H, and each other higher grade, in the non-industrial sector.

Mr. Cope

Grade Level A 81
