The British Foreign Secretary may be fined for fishing without a license. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to Sky News, British Foreign Secretary David Lamming and US Vice President Jay Di Vance fished without the necessary permits. The minister noticed that he had violated the law and reported this to the Environmental Protection Agency.
This is considered a sign of compliance with official procedures and awareness of responsibility. According to current regulations, in England and Wales, it is mandatory to obtain a license from the age of 13 to fish in freshwater areas.
Individuals fishing without a license may be fined up to £2,500. Therefore, obtaining a permit before fishing is an important part of ecological control and the preservation of natural resources.
According to the TV channel, no fish were caught in Lamming’s net in the Kent headquarters area. However, the absence of a catch does not change the fact that legal requirements were not met, as the license is the main document confirming the right to use water resources.
Such cases are usually investigated by the Environmental Protection Agency. During the investigation, the circumstances of the incident, laws, and licensing requirements are examined, after which a fine or other administrative measures are taken.
In conclusion, the incident was disclosed to the public, and the official self-reported. Even a seemingly light “hobby” requires strict compliance with legal rules.
Ecology, law, and public trust are important factors interconnected with each other.
