Proceeding contribution from Lord Stoddart of Swindon (Independent Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 16 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Fishery Limits (United Kingdom) Bill [HL].
Fishery Limits (United Kingdom) Bill [HL]
My Lords, of course people have to be prosecuted and punished if they break the law, but surely the fine of £5,000 for not filling in the appropriate forms is inordinate, bearing in mind that the fishermen had not exceeded their catches. They had simply forgotten to fill in the forms. Perhaps they had a difficult time at sea. A fine of £5,000 is swingeing for such a peccadillo.
