Fisheries Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Randall of Uxbridge (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 11 March 2020. It occurred during Debate on bills on Fisheries Bill [HL].

My Lords, I support the noble Baroness in her amendment; she spoke very eloquently about the need for it. Having been in the other place for some considerable time, I know that it is always easier to change legislation when it is in the draft form. I have found that Governments of all colours are more loath to change once they have laid the actual regulations. Some of these are of sufficient importance that interested parties, including Parliament, should have a good look at anything being brought forward. That is the way forward and it will allow us to improve not just regulations. I am very keen to see this type of amendment in this Bill and others.
