To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs who is on each quota management advisory group; and if he will make a statement. (188441)

The aim of these groups is to gather the views and opinions of a wide range of interested groups involved in the inshore fishing industry around the coast of England and Wales. As such, there is no set membership for each group. They are currently being set up by the district inspectors of the Marine and Fisheries Agency (MFA). Once established, it is intended that the details of the meetings held, those that attended and notes of the issues discussed at each meeting will be made available through the MFA website.

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs for what reason the Quota Management Change Programme formal consultation paper was not published between January and March 2007 as planned; and if he will make a statement. (188596)
