Proceeding contribution from Lord Livsey of Talgarth (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 12 January 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL].

Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

I agree very much with what has just been said. There is a conflict of interest about the nominations that would accrue for the MMO board. I can see that the ““guardian of the environment”” function of the MMO would be weakened if it was compromised by nominations from the IPC and the climate change body. I also sympathise with what the noble Baroness, Lady Carnegy, said about devolved matters. I have a couple of amendments that we may reach this evening that may cover some of that issue.
