Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour) 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

No, it is a fishing vessel. It has been decommissioned from fishing and is therefore scrap. They will not be paid the decommissioning grant until the vessel is scrapped. It is not possible to do it any other way. That is the normal procedure with the decommissioning plans for the fishing fleet, and part of the EU rules. It also makes common sense. On Question, Motion agreed to.
