§ Mr. Jeffrey Archerasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will abolish 380W the £10 tax which fishermen are charged for their fish allowances.
§ Mr. NottMy hon. Friend no doubt has in mind the arrangements under which the value of the benefit to certain employees from the provision of free fish has been taken at £10 yearly. These arrangements apply where the employee comes within the scope of the special legislation relating to employees earning £2,000 per annum and upwards, and the figure of £10 has I understand been agreed with the employees' trade union. But it is of course open to an individual employee to take the matter to appeal if he considers the figure of £10 to be excessive.
