Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) 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 am grateful to the noble Lord. I note that he has powerful friends since he has been supported by both Front Benches in his amendment. He will appreciate that the Government are keen to ensure that protection in the marine conservation zones is as effective as possible and that we enable by-laws to be applied to all vessels to the extent that we can under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and other legislation. In response to the combined ranks of those noble Lords who supported the amendment, I can be brief. I want to take the amendment back and consider it further before Report. On that understanding, I hope the noble Lord will withdraw it.
