Proceeding contribution from Lady Saltoun of Abernethy (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 7 March 2007. It occurred during Legislative debate on Decommissioning of Fishing Vessels Scheme 2007.


Decommissioning of Fishing Vessels Scheme 2007

I should like a little clarification. Paragraph 5 on page 2 says: "““A successful applicant for a grant must … destroy the vessel to the satisfaction of the Secretary of State””." Does that mean that the vessel must be totally destroyed and blown up? That seems the most appalling waste and destruction. Could the vessel not be converted for a different use?
