Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

I agree very much with what has just been said. There is a conflict of interest about the nominations that would accrue for the MMO board. I can see that the ““guardian of the environment”” function of the MMO would be weakened if it was compromised by nominations from the IPC and the climate change body. I also sympathise with what the noble Baroness, Lady Carnegy, said about devolved matters. I have a couple of amendments that we may reach this evening that may cover some of that issue.
