International Marine Protected Area: Sargasso Sea

Lord Kennedy of Southwark Excerpts

Monday 6th July 2026 Lords Chamber

[Lord Hannay of Chiswick (CB)]

My Lords—

[Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms and Chief Whip (Lord Kennedy of Southwark)]

My Lords, we have plenty of time. The Liberal Democrat Bench is next, then the Cross Benches.

[Baroness Northover (LD)]

I appreciate that. The Sargasso Sea is extremely important for hundreds of species, so will the Government advocate for the highest level of protection, under which all industrial fishing, in particular, is banned?
