Services Study, commissioned by Government. It complements equivalent studies into airports and air services in the other UK regions, which are being co-ordinated in RASCO, the Regional Air Services Co-ordination Study. SERAS and RASCO provide an appraisal of the physical dimension of future airports policy. Government’s consideration of future policy relating to airports and air services was set out in the consultation document The Future of Aviation. The Future of Aviation and the SERAS and RASCO Study Reports, and the results of consultation on their findings, will provide major inputs into the development of a forthcoming Air Transport White Paper. 1.1.2 A future Air Transport White Paper was first referred to in The Government’s White Paper on the Future of Transport ‘A New Deal for Transport: Better for Everyone’, July 1998.

  • Coarse Fishing Close Season on English Rivers
    Coarse fishing close season on English rivers Appendix 1 – Current coarse fish close season arrangements The close season on different waters In England, there is a coarse fish close season on all rivers, some canals and some stillwaters. This has not always been the case. In the 1990s, only around 60% of the canal network had a close season and in some regions, the close season had been dispensed with on all stillwaters. Stillwaters In 1995, following consultation, government confirmed a national byelaw which retained the coarse fish close season on rivers, streams, drains and canals, but dispensed with it on most stillwaters. The rationale was twofold: • Most stillwaters are discrete waterbodies in single ownership. Fishery owners can apply bespoke angling restrictions to protect their stocks, including non-statutory close times. • The close season had been dispensed with on many stillwaters prior to 1995 without apparent detriment to those fisheries. This presented strong evidence in favour of removing it. The close season is retained on some Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, as a precaution against possible damage to sensitive wildlife - see Appendix 1. This consultation is not seeking views on whether the close season should be retained on these stillwaters While most stillwater fishery managers have not re-imposed their own close season rules, some have, either adopting the same dates as apply to rivers or tailoring them to their waters' specific needs. Canals The Environment Agency commissioned a research project in 1997 to examine the evidence around the close season on canals to identify whether or not angling during the close season was detrimental to canal fisheries.
