HL Deb 20 March 1989 vol 505 c569WA
Lord Moran

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they expect to introduce the dealer licensing scheme provided for in the Salmon Act 1986.

The Minister of State, Scottish Office (Lord Sanderson of Bowden)

It is taking rather longer that originally expected to resolve outstanding points. I cannot give a firmer indication of our proposed timetable at this stage. But as I indicated in my previous reply of 6th December [Official Report Vol. 502 No. 7 col. 560], the Government recognise the importance of the proposals, which will be presented as soon as possible.
