Deep Sea Mining Bill

Proceeding contribution from Barry Gardiner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 6 September 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Deep Sea Mining Bill.

I am most heartened by the hon. Lady’s response to the hon. Member for Dover (Charlie Elphicke) that one of the reasons why it is important to legislate and ensure that licences come through the UK state system is that we would then be able to apply improved environmental measures. However,

I do not see any mention in the Bill of a requirement on the Secretary of State to do that. I would be grateful if the hon. Lady could point out to me any such requirement.
