question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to sustain and increase the stocks of trout and salmon in rivers and lakes in England and Wales in the face of predation by cormorants and other native and non-native birds.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2024 answer text <p>This is a devolved matter, and the information provided therefore relates to England only.</p><p> </p><p>The answer to Question HL1183 sets out the Government’s approach to managing bird predation on wild Atlantic salmon.</p><p> </p><p>The Environment Agency (EA) manages salmon and sea trout fisheries in England. In 2018 national byelaws effectively closed the remaining salmon net fisheries and adjusted the seasons for the remaining sea trout net fisheries. In 2023, 95% and 89% of recreational salmon and sea trout catches respectively were released, alive. This has been achieved through a combination of voluntary or mandatory measures. Where necessary, the EA has introduced river specific regulatory measures to better protect sea trout, including size restrictions and bag limits.</p><p> </p><p>The EA also works with partner organisations to address other pressures facing salmon and sea trout, such as barriers to fish passage. A full list of actions related to salmon can be found in the England and Wales “<a href="https://nasco.int/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/CNL2171_Implementation-Plan_UK-England-and-Wales.pdf" target="_blank">Implementation Plan</a>” (copy attached) to the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organisation (NASCO), along with annual progress updates available on NASCO’s website. The EA is currently re-assessing the key pressures on salmon, in England, ahead of producing a new implementation plan in 2025/26.</p> answering member printed Baroness Hayman of Ullock question first answered 21/10/2024 12:50:28 answering member 4395 label Biography information for Baroness Hayman of Ullock attachment 1 file name CNL2171_Implementation-Plan_UK-England-and-Wales.pdf title NASCO Implementation Plan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2024 answer text <p>This is a devolved matter and the information provided therefore relates to England only.</p><p> </p><p>The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 provides licensing functions to permit the control of piscivorous birds, most often cormorants, to protect fisheries where it can be shown that non-lethal measures are failing to manage predation.</p><p> </p><p>Licences are issued by Natural England, which has responsibility for setting a prudent upper limit on cormorant control to ensure that licensed removal does not irreversibly affect their conservation status. Licensing returns are monitored to ensure this limit is not breached. The Government is not currently proposing to license an increased culling of cormorants or other predatory species of birds.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Hayman of Ullock question first answered 18/10/2024 11:03:27 answering member 4395 label Biography information for Baroness Hayman of Ullock

tabling member printed	Lord Carlile of Berriew
uin	HL1184
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2024 answer text <p>The Environment Agency (EA) has a statutory duty under the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Act (1975) to maintain, improve and develop fisheries. In addition, ministerial guidance they received in 2000 confirmed the need to:</p><p> </p><p>- ensure the conservation and maintain the diversity of freshwater and migratory fish, and to conserve their aquatic environment.</p><p> </p><p>- enhance the contribution migratory and freshwater fisheries make to the economy, particularly in remote rural areas and in areas with low levels of income; and</p><p> </p><p>- enhance the social value of fishing as a widely available and healthy form of recreation.</p><p> </p><p>The EA promotes angling as a widely available and healthy outdoors activity. Getting more people to take up fishing involves working closely with partners, particularly the Angling Trust. This work also results in social, health and wellbeing outcomes.</p><p> </p><p>The EA provides advice and guidance for fishery owners, including commercially run venues, and invests income from rod licence sales to support projects to improve fisheries and facilities for anglers. This improves economic benefits for many angling stakeholders and businesses within local communities, many in rurally deprived areas.</p><p> </p><p>These responsibilities are undertaken by the EA throughout England, the role in Wales sits with National Resources Wales.</p> answering member printed Baroness Hayman of Ullock question first answered 18/10/2024 11:40:57 answering member 4395 label Biography information for Baroness Hayman of Ullock

tabling member printed	Lord Carlile of Berriew
uin	HL4767
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2024 answer text <p>International student fee income made up 43% of the overall UK higher education (HE) sector fee income in 2021/22 (£10.4 billion of £24.4 billion). The fee income from international students can be used by providers to subsidise the costs of delivering courses to domestic students for whom tuition fees are capped at £9,250.</p><p> </p><p>Domestic students continue to make up the vast majority of students within universities. International students made up only 15% of all undergraduate entrants at UK providers in 2021/22.</p><p> </p><p>It is important that the department promotes a sustainable HE funding system that responds to the needs of the economy and that is fair to students and to taxpayers. The government keeps the HE funding system under continuous review to ensure that this remains the case, and to provide many different opportunities for learners to acquire vital skills.</p><p> </p><p>In 2022/23, the total income of the HE sector in England was £43.9 billion, up from £29.1 billion in 2015/16. Of the £43.9 billion, approximately £16.3 billion was provided by the government. Over the current Spending Review period, the government is investing £1.3 billion in capital funding to support teaching and research.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 24/05/2024 10:32:55 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran
