I refer the Deputy to my reply to PQ 16666/20.

The National Parks and Wildlife Service intends to carry out the survey design, planning and costing for this work later this year.

While work programmes in my Department for next year must be considered in the context of wider budgetary discussions in the coming months, subject to resources being available, I hope that the survey work on the status of the freshwater pearl mussel in the River Blackwater can commence in 2021.
