Proceeding contribution from Tony McNulty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Serious Crime Bill [Lords].
Serious Crime Bill [Lords]
The offence merits inclusion as a serious crime under certain circumstances. Neither I nor any other Minister thought the measure up as a means of attacking people who enjoy fishing. It has been included in the Bill because ACPO tells us that salmon poaching is a widespread and serious environmental crime in our countryside. We are not attacking individuals: our intention is to deal with a serious and substantive organised crime. Even if it is aimed principally at salmon farms, who am I to challenge ACPO’s expertise in the matter?
