Fisheries: Diesel
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to subsidise diesel costs for the British fishing fleet.
- Answer
-
This Government recognises concerns about the impact of high fuel costs on the fishing industry, which we are monitoring. Commercial fishing vessels already benefit from fuel duty relief, meaning they effectively pay no duty on red diesel. Any decisions on further financial support must be considered carefully alongside wider government priorities and the position of other sectors facing similar cost pressures
