§ David BurnsideTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many salmon fish farms have been operating, and how many fish were produced, in Northern Ireland in each of the last five years. [135446]
§ Mr. PearsonThe information is as follows:
Number of licensed salmon fish farms 1998 1 1999 1 2000 1 2001 1 2002 1 Due to the fact that there has been only one salmon fish farm operating in Northern Ireland for the past five years, the production figures for each of the last five years is not in the public domain as it would be too easy to identify the company involved.
