Lead Contributor
Opened the debate
I beg to move, That leave be given to bring in a Bill to prohibit the practice of bottom trawling in Marine Protected Areas in England. It is important to remember that protecting our oceans and marine protected areas is not only a Labour legacy, but a Yorkshire one... This Bill builds on previous work to ban this destructive practice.
