My Lords, I will certainly look into that. It is not part of my notes, but it sounds like exactly the type of relic that we would be very concerned to safeguard and I undertake to examine the issue immediately.

My Lords, there is protection for ships that are war graves. On the issue that my noble friend raised, there is no real anxiety either about the great monuments under the sea, which are ships that served in the Navy and met disaster, or about ships that need to be protected because they are war graves in British waters. The problem is with the great deal of other historical data, of which at the moment we only have some. We will need to establish a great deal more as a result of the legislation established last year.

My Lords, the Question was about marine archaeology rather than contemporary fishing. I think that the noble Lord was in attendance when I gave a clear exposition of the Government’s strategy for reform of the common fisheries policy to the advantage of British fishermen.

My Lords, we have safeguards and clear practice with regard to HMS "Victory", because it was a ship of the line involved in naval battle. We have clear protection for wrecks of that significance to the history of the nation. However, the data on what exists under the sea, a great deal of which will need care and protection, must be developed. English Heritage has indicated that it wants to play the part that I indicated a moment ago in response to my noble friend. The question of resources must flow from the identification of needs.

My Lords, I take careful note of that reference and will renew my acquaintance with Dean Acheson’s book. I emphasise that the reason why we have reservations about the convention, as have other countries with a naval history almost as significant as ours—I think of France, which has also not signed—is that we have such a rich heritage in our waters that we must be absolutely secure in the process whereby we safeguard it. There is no doubt that this is not just an issue of the western approaches; because the United Kingdom is an island state, we are particularly rich in these terms.

My Lords, the Government are continuing to work on implementing the provisions of the Marine and Coastal Access Act. We are looking at options for strengthening protection of significant underwater cultural heritage assets beyond territorial waters. We are observing how signatories of the 2001 Convention on Underwater Cultural Heritage go about implementing it. We support the principles of the annexe of the convention in respect of best practice and treatment of underwater cultural heritage.

My Lords, I am grateful to my noble friend for raising this question, which is important in the context of the establishment of the Marine Management Organisation and the work that has to be done in implementing the Act, which came into force last year. The MoD’s Hydrographic Office has considerable data on what exists on the seabed, so we are not devoid of some appreciation of the size of the task. The National Monuments Record, which is part of English Heritage, is also looking at the question of marine data. However, my noble friend is quite right. There is considerable work to be done and it is expected that, under the new operations of the Marine Management Organisation and English Heritage, working practices will be established to guarantee the outcomes that my noble friend wishes to see.

My Lords, decisions on mergers are generally taken by the competition authorities based on whether there is a substantial lessening of competition. This generally provides the most effective method of protecting consumers. In this particular case, and in the light of the extraordinary stress in world financial markets, the Secretary of State considered that there was urgent need for additional action. He therefore laid an order in the House on 7 October that will enable him to take the final decisions in this case and allow him to consider effects relating to the stability of the UK financial system alongside any competition issues.

My Lords, I am grateful to my noble friend for her opening remarks. On consumer protection, as well as the other emergency measures we have taken in the past few days, the Government are about to introduce the Banking Bill, which will reconstitute the regulation of the banking system. The interests of consumers and taxpayers will form an important part of that Bill. As the House will recognise, the Bill has been introduced in the other place and will come before this House in the not too distant future.

My Lords, the Banking Bill has been the subject of very extensive consultation, and so it should be for a measure of such supreme importance to the British economy and the British people. I note that the noble Lord sustains his critical stance on the government action on Northern Rock. Others will think that the Government acted entirely appropriately. But all, even he, will rejoice in the fact that Northern Rock is beginning to pay back, ahead of time, its debts owed to the Government.
