Environment Food and Rural Affairs written question – answered at on 14 March 2013.
Andrew Rosindell
Conservative, Romford
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how many licences the Environment Agency has issued for crayfish trapping in Pembrokeshire in the last three years.
Richard Benyon
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
The Environment Agency has not issued any authorisations for crayfish trapping in this area in the last three years.
One application was received in 2010. This was later withdrawn by the applicant because there were no crayfish present in the river they had applied to fish. There were no applications received in 2011 or 2012.
The data presented are from the area in which Pembrokeshire sits; these areas are defined by catchment and not county boundaries.
