Proceeding contribution from David Nuttall (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 24 January 2014. It occurred during Debate on bill on Deep Sea Mining Bill.
Deep Sea Mining Bill
It was made clear on Second Reading that companies wishing to exploit minerals on the sea bed had the opportunity of essentially shopping around the world and that they could apply for a licence wherever they wanted to. Is the hon. Lady concerned that if we have provisions in our legislation that are more onerous and demanding than those of other countries, we might be doing the sea bed a disservice, because those companies might obtain a licence elsewhere in order to avoid our legislation?
