Proceeding contribution from Lord Wallace of Tankerness (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 19 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL].

Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

My Lords, I, too, welcome these amendments. They underline the Government’s commitment, already indicated, to a network of marine conservation zones, rather than a series of stand-alone MCZs. The amendment gives real substance to that commitment, particularly by linking it in with a number of our European obligations, and is very welcome in that regard.
