Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

I appreciate what the Minister is saying; indeed, one of my purposes was to show that it is possible to co-operate for the same objective. However, because the Welsh Assembly does not have the legislative powers to create a highly protected zone, the only way in which it could do so is through this Bill. As Ministers in the Welsh Assembly Government would like to do that, does the Minister not feel a bit embarrassed that he might be preventing them from doing so?
