Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what discussions her Department has had with the Scottish government on changes in the number of salmon available to anglers in the 2016 season.
All four Fisheries Administrations exchange information on salmon management in their countries on an ad hoc basis and in preparation for, and at, the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organisation meeting in June each year. However, discussions regarding the availability of salmon to anglers in Scotland for 2016 is a matter for the Scottish Government.
