HC Deb 26 February 1975 vol 887 c657

Lords Amendment: No. 6, in page 7, line 2, after "persons" insert and the movement of any vehicles or vessels".

Mr. Millan

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this amendment we are to discuss Lords Amendment No. 7.

Mr. Millan

I also recommend that the House accept Lords Amendment No. 7.

The amendments are inter-related. The purpose of Amendment No. 6, which is a drafting amendment, is to amplify the description of matters with respect to which the Secretary of State may, under subsection (1), make regulations for designated sea areas. Its effect is to make it clear that the regulations may include regulations for the purpose of regulating the movement of vessels in designated sea areas, which I think is accepted as being essential.

The purpose of Amendment No. 7 is to amplify and make more explicit the powers of enforcement in designated sea areas so that the regulations can be made to work.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords amendment agreed to
