Under the Control of Fishing for Salmon Order 2005 responsibility for the issue of annual commercial salmon fishing licences rests with the regional fisheries boards. The Central Fisheries Board produces an annual catch statistics report which provides comprehensive details and analysis, including a breakdown of the number of drift net licences issued by the regional boards, on the latest salmon fishing season. I am advised by the Central Fisheries Board that the catch statistics report for the 2005 salmon fishing season is currently being compiled. I have asked the chief executive officer to ensure that a copy of this report is sent to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
