HL Deb 10 May 2001 vol 625 c235WA
Lord Islwyn

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How the £6 million announced for restructuring the English fishing industry will be allocated. [HL2109]

Baroness Hayman

We intend to commit the £6 million which was announced on 2 April to a decommissioning scheme for the English fishing fleet. This will be a useful contribution to restructuring the industry.

We will consult the industry further as soon as practicable on the provisions of the scheme, including the eligibility conditions, the form of a tendering procedure and the treatment of fish quotas.
