Proceeding contribution from Lord Teverson (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 9 March 2020. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Fisheries Bill [HL].

Fisheries Bill [HL]

My Lords, I thank the Minister for going through all that, but another term for stability and certainty is fossilisation. That is what we are being told. The whole Bill is in many ways on that theme, I am afraid. One fundamental question that the Minister did not answer is: what is to stop all the new fishing opportunities landing up exactly where they are at the moment, particularly with foreign-owned companies? I do not understand how anything can stop all our new fishing opportunities being taken by existing players, because they have the money, influence and experience. What stops everything that is new being exactly the same, replicated? I do not understand that.
