Proceeding contribution from Martin Salter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Marine and Coastal Access Bill [Lords].

Marine and Coastal Access Bill [Lords]

I thank the Minister for that clarification. He will be aware of representations from the Angling Trust, which broadly welcomes this Bill, that the current composition of sea fisheries committees has left the recreational angling sector very poorly represented. Will that wrong be put right? In addition, the current system allows local authority representatives to name substitutes, if someone cannot make a meeting. It is important that that right is extended to other stakeholders, who will have an active role to play in the new IFCAs.
