Lord KENNET

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What are now their rights in international law in relation to prima facie military equipment it may find installed on the British Continental Shelf or within the waters of the British fishery zone.

Lord GORONWY-ROBERTS

Where such equipment interfered with the rights enjoyed by the United Kingdom in its Continental Shelf and in its fishery zone the United Kingdom is entitled to ensure respect for its rights.
