Lord Ewing of Kirkford

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they will publish the consultation paper on fishing vessel accidents and the recovery of those lost at sea. [HL3032]

Baroness Hayman

We are publishing the Consultation Paper today. A copy has been placed in the Library of the House and it will be distributed widely to representatives in the fishing industry, and to others who have written to Ministers on this subject. The consultation period will extend to 31 October and the Government will announce the results by the end of the year.
