§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the net effect on taxation revenue by way of(a) corporation tax and (b) capital gains tax of the Government's proposed decommissioning scheme for fishing trawlers; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MacleanI have been asked to reply. There are no plans to introduce a Government-funded decommissioning scheme, but I have said that, if industry representatives could produce an industry funded scheme which offered long-term conservation benefits, the Government would consider it.
