Written question asked by Lord Kimball (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Rooker (Labour) on Wednesday, 14 March 2007.
Fishing: Drift Nets
- Question
- asked Her Majesty's Government:Why they have allowed drift-net fishing off Strathy Point to continue.
- Answer
-
The fishery at Strathy Point operates bag nets, not drift nets. Drift-net fishing has been unlawful in Scotland since 1962. However, the lease of the salmon fishery at Strathy expires in November 2007, and the Scottish Executive, which owns the fishing rights at Strathy, has decided not to renew the lease.
