Fishery Policy: Statements.
While it would not be appropriate to comment in detail on specific cases, I can inform the House, by way of example, that a specific instance of alleged inappropriate disposal of fish mortalities has been investigated and that the advice of legal services has been sought as to the further action that should be taken. A further major case of the apparent inappropriate disposal of fish mortalities and apparent breaches of aquaculture licence terms is currently under investigation and will be referred, as appropriate, for the advice of the legal services on appropriate action. I am determined that any other cases of this nature will be similarly investigated and followed up.
