Proceeding contribution from Baroness Carnegy of Lour (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 3 March 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 apologise to my noble friend on the Front Bench and to the Committee for jumping the gun and asking about the European Union when I had not observed this excellent amendment. Of all the things I have heard my noble friend ask the Committee to accept, this is a really pious hope. I cannot see this working when it comes to keen fishermen who do not always obey the rules anyway. The country has picked on the alleys with the most fish and made them conservation zones. These are hardly going to be places that the Spaniards and Portuguese will want to leave alone. I will be interested to hear the Minister’s reply. It would be wonderful if this could be done. Something will have to be done but I think it will have to stronger than this amendment is suggesting.
