The function of the Licensing Authority for sea-fishing boats was transferred under the Fisheries (Amendment) Act 2003 to the Registrar General of Fishing Boats. The Act provides that the Licensing Authority is independent in the exercise of its functions under the Act, subject to the law for the time being in force and policy directives in relation to sea-fishing boat licensing. The Registrar General of Fishing Boats has informed me that the application period, under the scheme for the licensing of potting boats, closed on 18 June 2003.
