The Minister said in his statement that 50% of all licence duties that are collected in regard to salmon fishing licences and rod licences are ring-fenced for improving the "ecological and conservation dividends for the stocks", but what about the other 50%? I do not expect the Minister to have this information now, but he might revert to the committee later. How much money are we putting in, in total, to improve the ecological and conservation dividends for the stocks?
