Serious Crime Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Greg Knight (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on Serious Crime Bill [Lords].
We all want effective action against serious crime, but I am rather puzzled by how the Government define that. Why is fishing for salmon with a ““prohibited”” instrument to be regarded as a serious crime? Will the provision extend to someone poaching farmed salmon? What is the rationale behind it?
