Environment Bill

Baroness Watkins of Tavistock Excerpts

Committee stage
Wednesday 14th July 2021 Lords Chamber

I hope I have reassured noble Lords that the Government are committed to making serious progress in relation to the remote electronic monitoring of fishing vessels. I ask the noble Lord to withdraw his amendment.

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Baroness Watkins of Tavistock) (CB)]

I call the noble Lord, Lord Teverson, who wants to ask a question before proceeding.

[Lord Teverson (LD) [V]]

I thank the Minister for that good reply. I will sum up in just a second but I have a specific question. He said, and I take some encouragement from this, that he wanted to “move at pace”. When will we next hear back from the Government about what they are going to do specifically on REM and, hopefully, how they are going to apply the method of data collection?

--- Later in debate ---

Schedule 16 agreed.

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Baroness Watkins of Tavistock) (CB)]

We now come to the group beginning with Amendment 266. Anyone wishing to press this or anything else in this group to a Division must make that clear in the debate.

Clause 110: Conservation covenant agreements

Amendment 266
