I propose to take Questions Nos. 419 and 421 together.

A compulsory charge for anglers is not being introduced in the context of the proposed new inland fisheries legislation. I have set this position out clearly on a number of occasions, but would, in particular, refer the Deputies to the reply to Question No. 628 on 25 March which addresses the issues they have raised in considerable detail.
