if a child is fishing and needs help the helper gets a £2000 fine
Children under 12 don’t need a licence. However, if you take a child under 12 fishing and hold the rod or help hold it you must buy a licence for yourself. Which means if your 3 year old wants to try fishing and needs help at any point the mum or dad could potentially get a £2000 fine.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition in its current form as it does not call for a clear action from the UK Government and Parliament. You could start a petition calling on the Government to allow parents to supervise a child fishing without purchasing a fishing licence.
