HL Deb 19 November 2003 vol 654 c327WA
Lord Kilclooney

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What new proposals there are to restrict the fishing of prawns in Strangford Lough; whether a consultation document will be issued; if so, to whom it will be made available; and what is the proposed timetable. [HL5104]

Baroness Amos

Currently there are no proposals to restrict fishing for prawns in Strangford Lough. However, should the department decide to introduce legislation, depending on the nature of the legislation required, it will consult in accordance with legislative requirements.
