Antarctic Bill

Proceeding contribution from David Nuttall (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 18 January 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Antarctic Bill.

The reality is that the duty in clause 5

“to take preventative measures and make contingency plan”

is at the heart of what the Bill is all about. It makes sense for someone visiting the Antarctic region to do some forward thinking and sit down with a pen and paper to produce a plan relating to what might happen if something goes wrong, bearing in mind that the general thrust of environmental protection legislation in this area is to leave the Antarctic environment completely pristine. Nothing should be left behind at all.
