§ Mr. Tony BanksTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps are being taken to protect fish stocks in waters for which Britain is responsible from the activities of drift-net fishing.
§ Mr. CurryThe small-scale drift net fisheries found in United Kingdom waters are considered to be relatively selective in operation, targeting certain fish species reasonably effectively. Various restrictions including minimum mesh size controls may be applied in these fisheries, and those for salmon and trout in particular are tightly regulated.
