Antarctic Bill

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

My hon. Friend has identified a key issue. Fishing for profit does not, of course, cover all fishing activities: the Japanese whaling fleet, for instance, fishes for “scientific purposes”—if we believe that. I wonder whether a blanket exclusion of all fishing, whether for scientific purposes or for profit, would provide more protection. Perhaps when we return to the matter in three years’ time we could consider updating the provision if the position changes.
