Proceeding contribution from Lord Lansley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 12 November 2020. It occurred during Debate on bill on Fisheries Bill [HL].


Fisheries Bill [HL]

I am a member of the EU International Agreements Sub-Committee of your Lordships’ House. We are spending a lot of time not only looking at the content of treaties, but also understanding how these are implemented into domestic legislation. I am confused. Can my noble friend explain how the 1999 treaty to which this refers was implemented into domestic legislation? Why did this not lead directly to its continuation or amendment? This is the second time we have looked at this Bill; in the first draft, licensing of fishing boats in our EEZ was considered.
