ordin the case of an order under subsection (1)(a), by fishing boats registered in a specified country,and whether the order is general or limited in scope it may provide for exceptions from the prohibition contained in it.3Where any fishing boat is used in contravention of any prohibition imposed by an order under this section, the master, the owner and the charterer (if any) are each guilty of an offence under this subsection.4An order under this section, if made with the consent of the Treasury given for the purposes of this subsection, may authorise the making of a charge for a licence under this section.Such an order shall specify a maximum charge and may specify different maxima in relation to different classes of licence.5A licence under this section shall be granted to the owner or charterer in respect of a named vessel and may authorise fishing generally or may confer limited authority by reference to, in particular,—athe area within which fishing is authorised;bthe periods, times or particular voyages during which fishing is authorised;cthe descriptions and quantities of fish which may be taken; ordthe method of sea fishing.6A licence under this section may authorise fishing either unconditionally or subject to such conditions as appear to the Minister granting the licence to be necessary or expedient for the regulation of sea fishing (including conditions which do not relate directly to fishing), and in particular a licence may contain conditions—aas to the landing of fish or parts of fish taken under the authority of the licence (including specifying the ports at which the catch is to be landed); orbas to the use to which the fish taken may be put: orcrestricting the time which a vessel named in the licence may spend at sea (whether for the purpose of fishing or otherwise);and if a licence condition is broken the master, the owner and the charterer (if any) of the vessel named in the licence are each guilty of an offence under this subsection.6AThe conditions subject to which a licence may be granted under this section may differ as between different vessels or between vessels of different descriptions.6BA licence containing a condition restricting the time which a vessel may spend at sea may make provision as to the circumstances in which time is, or is not, to count as time spent at sea.6CThe Ministers shall by order make provision as to the principles on which the time which vessels may spend at sea is to be arrived at for the purposes of any condition included in a licence by virtue of subsection (6)(c) above.6DBefore considering what action to take under subsection (6C) above, the Ministers shall first give due consideration to a scheme of decommissioning in order to achieve a significant reduction in the capacity of the fishing fleet.7The Minister granting a licence under this section may require the master, the owner and the charterer (if any) of the vessel named in the licence to provide him with such information, in such form, as he may direct, and a person who fails without reasonable excuse to comply with such a requirement is guilty of an offence under this subsection.7AAny person who—afor the purpose of obtaining a licence under this section; orbin purported compliance with subsection (7) above,furnishes information which he knows to be false in a material particular or recklessly furnishes information which is false in a material particular shall be guilty of an offence under this subsection.8The licensing powers conferred by this section may be exercised so as to limit the number of fishing boats, or of any class of fishing boats, engaged in fishing in any area, or in fishing in any area for any description of fish, to such extent as appears to the Ministers necessary or expedient for the regulation of sea fishing.9A licence under this section—amay be varied from time to time; andbmay be revoked or suspended, if this appears to the Minister who granted the licence to be necessary or expedient for the regulation of sea fishing or to be appropriate in a case where there is a contravention of a prohibition imposed by an order under this section or a contravention of a condition of the licence.9AWhere an order under this section prohibits fishing in a specified area for a specified description of sea fish there shall be returned to the sea forthwith—aany sea fish of that description taken on board a fishing boat in contravention of the order; andbexcept so far as the order otherwise provides, any sea fish of that description taken on board a fishing boat in that area in the course of fishing for sea fish of a different description;but, where the order applies only to fishing by a specified method or during a specified period or by boats of a specified description, paragraph (b) above applies only if the fish are caught by that method, during that period or by a boat of that description.9BWhere subsection (9A) above is not complied with in the case of any fishing boat, the master, the owner and the charterer (if any) shall each be guilty of an offence under that subsection.10If a licence is varied, revoked or suspended the Minister who granted it may, if he considers it appropriate in all the circumstances of the case, refund the whole or part of any charge made for the licence.11The Ministers may make arrangements for any of their licensing powers under this section (but not the power to make orders under subsection (1)) to be exercised by other persons on their behalf.12In this section “British fishing boat” means a fishing boat which is registered in the United Kingdom or is British-owned, and “foreign fishing boat” means a fishing boat which is not so registered or owned.S. 4 substituted by Fishery Limits Act 1976 (c. 86), s. 3S. 4 extended by S.I. 1978/280, art. 2 and 1978/281, art. 4S. 4: S. 4 (with ss. 15(3), 20(1) and 22(2)(a)) power exercised by S.I. 1991/2196For previous exercises of power see Index to Government Orders.S. 4(3) amended by Fisheries Act 1981 (c. 29, SIF 52:1), s. 33(1), Sch. 4 Pt.
