When is it proposed to take the next stage?
Foyle Fisheries (No. 2) Bill, 1951—First Stage.
Leave granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to authorise the making of a certain agreement with respect to fishing rights in the tidal waters of the Lough and River Foyle and its tributaries, to provide for the management, conservation, protection and improvement of the fisheries in the Foyle area, to establish a Foyle Fisheries Commission and to define its functions, to dissolve the board of conservators for the Moville district, and to provide for other matters (including the charging of fees on certain fishing licences) connected with the matters aforesaid. — (Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Agriculture.)
It is not possible to say when the next stage can be taken.
It can be ordered provisionally for 31st October.
When is it proposed to circulate this Bill?
There has to be concerted action in that regard.
It depends on arrangements between the two Governments and I understand that the Belfast Government has to be enabled to do so by the passing of a measure.
All I desire to emphasise is that it is not one step forrader than when I left it, but I will help you any way I can.
It is on the way.
Second Stage ordered provisionally for 31st October, 1951.
