Proceeding contribution from Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Friday, 1 February 2013. It occurred during Debate on bill on Antarctic Bill.
Antarctic Bill
I am sure that my noble friend did not mean to misquote the Bill but it does not actually say that. It does not say an event,
“that results in, or imminently threatens to result in, any significant harmful impact on the environment of Antarctica”.
It says, “an accidental event”. Could he deal with my point as to why the event is qualified by the word “accidental”?
