	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/04/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>In the last 12 months Defra has received two emails from two different individuals regarding cockle fishing methods. The correspondents asked for confirmation that the use of hydraulic dredging for cockle fishing is legal and to express their support for hand-raking methods of cockle fishing. Officials responded to both individuals and advised them to contact the local Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority (IFCA) which is responsible for managing the inshore area (1-6 nautical miles) around the English coast. Officials also made the local IFCA aware of both emails. In addition, I will be responding shortly to correspondence I have received expressing concerns on behalf of the commercial cockle fishermen from King's Lynn, Norfolk.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 22/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
