Kate Hoey

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs pursuant to her answer of 20 May 2004,Official Report, column 1084, on cormorant predation, when she expects to announce extra measures to help fishery owners and angling clubs to deal with the problem of predation by cormorants.

Mr. Bradshaw

We are currently considering the extra measures we can put in place to help inland fisheries. I expect to be able to announce these before the seasonal influx of cormorants from coastal areas which takes place during the autumn.
