§ Mr. WrayTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what considerations led to the decision not to release externally the annual report of the electricity Fisheries Committee. [24189]
§ Sir Hector Monro[holding answer 15 May 1995]: The annual reports which the Fisheries Committee has made to my right hon. Friend in recent years, were 336W produced on its own initiative. There is no statutory requirement for them. They were made without any expectation on the part of the committee, or hydro-electric companies, that the reports would be given wider distribution. For that reason, these reports have not been released externally. However, the committee will be informed that any future annual reports will be made available on request.
