Vol. 369 No. 6

Written Answers. - Monofilament Nets.

83.

asked the Minister for Tourism, Fisheries and Forestry if it is proposed to allow the use of monofilament nets by salmon drift net fishermen in 1987; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have set up a review group to examine all existing salmon conservation measures including the ban on monofilment netting in salmon fishing.

Pending the receipt of the report of the group, I propose to make no changes in the laws governing salmon fishing.
