Salmon: Conservation

Question for Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

UIN HL1131, tabled on 13 September 2024

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the answer by Baroness Hayman of Ullock on 12 September (HL Deb cols 168GC–172GC), what assessment they have made of excluding cattle from the catchment areas of salmon spawning streams.

This is a devolved matter, and the information provided therefore relates to England only. A specific national assessment on excluding cattle from the catchment areas of salmon spawning streams has not been undertaken because the potential impacts of cattle on salmon spawning streams are well documented.
