Fishing Vessels (Decommissioning) (Scotland) Scheme 2003 (SSI 2003/87)
Murdo, have you had a chance to look at the instrument? This is your area.
There is an important point about self-incrimination. Paragraph 14(6)(a) of the scheme appears to contain no qualification regarding "legal privilege" and no protection regarding self-incrimination. That is quite serious. We have to ask the Executive why it has drafted the scheme in that way.
A similar matter arises in relation to the next instrument.
Sea Fishing (Transitional Support) (Scotland) Scheme 2003 (SSI 2003/92)

One should be sufficient.
It should be. We can certainly ask the Executive for an explanation.
Presumably, the first "P" should be "B".
We do not have to guess. We will just say that it seems that there are two definitions of "P" and ask the Executive which it would like to use.
