Marine and Coastal Access Bill [Lords]

I agree with the hon. Gentleman on that last point. The fishing industry and conservation groups have come much closer together, which is why the fishing industry feels a bit let down by the obsession with controlling fishing in marine conservation zones. In response to some of my hon. Friends, I am not saying that fishing is not about marine conservation. Of course it is—it is the industry with the most interest in conservation. However, the patchwork quilts of marine conservation zones are not an appropriate way of controlling fishing effort or catches.
