Marine Environment (Recreation)

Question: I welcome that guidance; the Minister will recognise that this is a busy island, both onshore and offshore. Will he undertake to meet a small delegation from one of the foremost areas of expertise in this area, the safety in leisure unit at Swansea institute, which has been examining the conflict of recreational uses in the offshore environment? Those people might have some interesting ideas for him to consider further, which would have an impact on constituencies throughout the whole of the United Kingdom, not least Bridgend and the constituency of my hon. Friend the Member for Swansea, East (Mrs. James), which include very attractive parts of the south Wales coastline.

Answer: Yes, I would be happy to meet a delegation brought to me by my hon. Friend, and I am well aware of the problem, as I represent a near coastal seat myself.
