105. Mr. Beith

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what were the proceeds of the sale of a salmon netting station at Spittal by Greenwich Hospital Estates to the Atlantic Salmon Conservation Trust; and whether the sale included any conditions or covenants affecting its future operation.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

Greenwich hospital sold the salmon netting station at Spittal, otherwise known as Hudshead fishery, to the River Tweed commissioners (not the Atlantic Salmon Conservation Trust) in August 1988 for £3,000. The sale of the fishery did not include any conditions or covenants affecting its future operation.
