You could also call this:

"Getting paid for being on the National Fisheries Advisory Council"

Illustration for Fisheries Act 1996

You are part of the National Fisheries Advisory Council. This council is a statutory board, which means it follows the rules of the Fees and Travelling Allowances Act 1951. You can get paid for being on the council. You get paid from money that Parliament has set aside for this purpose. Your payment can be a fee, salary, or allowance, and you can also get money for travelling. The Fees and Travelling Allowances Act 1951 decides how much you get paid. Being on the council does not mean you work for the government. You are not considered an employee of the government just because you are on the council. This is an important rule to remember.
