English Marine Protected Areas: Bottom Trawling and Dredging
Debate between Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb and Lord Harris of Haringey
Lord Harris of Haringey (Lab)
My Lords, I do not think there has been a Labour questioner so far on this. I am grateful to my noble friend the Minister for his responses on this, but can I ask—I refer to my interest as chair of the National Preparedness Commission—to what extent the security position is also being factored into these discussions? Quite clearly, damage to undersea cables and pipelines is a serious problem and bottom trawling will not help.
