Item ll The Harbour Dues, Fees and Charges (Alderney) (Amendment) Law, 2008
The following letter has been received from Mr Willmott, Chairman Policy and Finance Committee:-"Section 5(a) of the Harbour Dues, Fees and Charges (Alderney) Law, 1984 provides that dues and fees may not be increased to an amount greater than four hundred per centum of the rate of such dues or fees at the date of the Law coming into force. The effect of this, almost a quarter of a century later, is that no further increases can be introduced unless the Law is amended. The 1984 Law was itself passed to overcome a similar problem in the provisions of its predecessor, the Harbour Dues (Alderney) Law, 1971. The Harbour Dues, Fees and Charges (Alderney) (Amendment) Law, 2008 will, if approved, repeal the four hundred per centum provision in section 5(a). I attach a copy. I would be grateful if you would place this before the States with an appropriate proposition.
