Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

Something that the Minister said just a moment ago sounded a few warning bells. It would worry me if IFCAs could raise revenue through enforcement. Certainly, if money for patrol boats and whatever came from local authorities, I would be worried that overenthusiastic enforcement could lead to the sort of situation we have with speed cameras and that the whole system would be used just as a revenue-raising exercise, which we should avoid.
