Proceeding contribution from Lord Greenway (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 February 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]

My Amendment 101 seeks to insert paragraph (c) into Clause 63(2), which deals with descriptions of dredging and incineration. Amendment 101 reads, "““in items 11, 12 and 13 ‘incinerate’ and ‘incineration’ shall not include activities relating to the navigation, management or operation of a vessel””." Shipboard incineration activities connected with the running or onboard operations of a vessel are already regulated under international agreement through MARPOL, which lays down rules covering when, in which areas and under what conditions shipboard waste may be incinerated. The amendment ensures that such operations are not brought within the scope of licensable activities under the Bill. I hope that the Minister will confirm that that is so.
