Written question asked by Lord Pearson of Rannoch (Non-affiliated) on Friday, 13 September 2024, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Friday, 27 September 2024. It was answered by Baroness Hayman of Ullock (Labour) on Tuesday, 1 October 2024 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.


Salmon: Conservation

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the answer by Baroness Hayman of Ullock on 12 September (HL Deb cols 168GC–172GC), what assessment they have made of excluding cattle from the catchment areas of salmon spawning streams.

Answer

This is a devolved matter, and the information provided therefore relates to England only. A specific national assessment on excluding cattle from the catchment areas of salmon spawning streams has not been undertaken because the potential impacts of cattle on salmon spawning streams are well documented.
