Scottish Office

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, if commercial fishing will be allowed to take place in Holy Loch once the clearance programme is completed.
Answer

Dr. Godman: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if commercial fishing will be allowed to take place in Holy Loch once the clearance programme is completed; and if he will make a statement. [40393] Mr. Macdonald: There is no fisheries legislation currently in place which would prevent the commencement of commercial fishing at an appropriate stage; nor are there any current plans for that. I understand, however, that the clearance programme which began earlier this year is to be spread over a number of years.
