(asked on 15th April 2024) - View Source

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government what amount of fuel subsidy is received by the UK pelagic fishing fleet.


This question was answered on 29th April 2024
Qualifying fishing vessels are eligible for two fuel duty reliefs: entitlement to use red diesel, taxed at a reduced rate of 10.18p per litre, and marine voyages relief. The government does not consider either of these to be fossil fuel subsidies.
