Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 28 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 am certainly with noble Lords on the importance of ensuring that this organisation comes to its decisions on the basis of the best possible evidence and scientific research. I am at one with the noble Lord in wanting the MMO to be able to access the research that is necessary. It is a good thing that the MMO has a number of options available to it in accessing that information and research, particularly in having high-quality scientific people on its staff who can advise and inform the organisation as a whole on the way it should approach these matters.
