§ Lord Kennetasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether it is the case that, as stated in the government response to the Brundtland Commission Report, the United Kingdom has an exclusive economic zone.
§ Lord GlenarthurNo. The reference to an exclusive economic zone in our response to the report of the world commission on environment and development (the Brundtland report) was I am afraid an error. It should have been to the UK's 200 mile fishery zone.
