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 will look into the specific matter that the noble Lord has raised, but the general principle is that the MMO operates in England as the appropriate marine body on behalf of the Secretary of State. Its involvement outside England is on those matters that fall under the responsibility of the UK Government. We have tried to ensure that the Bill reflects that. If the noble Lord would like to give me more details of the specific case, I shall look into it.
