Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Trefgarne (Conservative). It was answered on Wednesday, 10 October 2012.
Energy: Hydropower
- Question
-
My Lords, is my noble friend aware that the Environment Agency has authorised several thousand very small sites for the purposes of electrical generation to the dismay of the angling community—and, indeed, the fish?
- Answer
-
My Lords, my noble friend mentioned the angling community, and I agree with him that it is a very important and large community. When it raises concerns, we take them very seriously. But the trust is fully engaged in ongoing work to review the Environment Agency’s hydropower good practice guidelines.
