Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

I certainly agree with the noble Baroness about the political implications, but the point that I seek to make is that the MMO will deal with the UK Government’s functions and responsibilities. My query is this: if there are functions within inshore Scottish waters that are exercisable by UK Ministers, where does the responsibility lie? I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 74 withdrawn. Amendment 75 not moved. Clause 35 agreed. Clause 36 : Guidance by the Secretary of State Amendments 76 and 77 not moved. Clause 36 agreed. Clause 37 agreed.
