HL Deb 08 December 1988 vol 502 c754WA
Lord Kennet

asked 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 Glenarthur

No. 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.
