motion: <p class="indent" pid="b75.1/4" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;illegal fishing, border violations&#8230;violent disputes or blockading of ports&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="b78.0/2" pwmotiontext="yes">That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Fisheries Bill [Lords] before it is clear what kind of deal will be made with the EU after the end of the implementation period and because the present approach of the Bill fails to secure a long-term sustainable future for the industry balancing the interests of the environment, the consumer and the producers of this industry which is so vital to the prosperity of fishing ports in Scotland, Wales and the rest of the United Kingdom.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="b78.0/5" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea&#8212;UNCLOS &#8212;which requires co-operation and efforts to agree rules on access to waters, as well as setting catch limits and standards on conservation and management of marine resources.&#8221;&#8212;[Official Report, House of Lords, <phrase class="date" code="2020-06-22">22 June</phrase> 2020; Vol. 804, c. 26.]</p>

  <p class="indent" pid="b79.0/2" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;I&#8217;m confident this Bill gives Scottish Ministers and the Scottish Parliament the necessary powers and tools to do that&#8221;&#8212;</p>

  <p class="indent" pid="b80.1/2" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;You will have noted that I have recommended that we consent to the bill as introduced in full.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="b80.4/5" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;some concerns about the constitutional principles relating to this amendment...I am concerned that the amendment simply talks about &#8220;consulting&#8221; the devolved Governments&#8212;particularly the Scottish Government, who have clear legislative authority&#8212;rather than &#8220;agreeing&#8221; with them a national landing requirement. I am interested in knowing the thinking on having a UK-wide national landing requirement imposed from the centre rather than agreed by consensus across the four nations&#8221;.&#8212;[Official Report, House of Lords, <phrase class="date" code="2020-06-24">24 June</phrase> 2020; Vol. 804, c. 270-71.]</p>

  <p class="indent" pid="b115.1/4" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;Will he guarantee that we will not make the mistake of the 1970s and allow the allocation of fishing resources to be a bargaining chip in the treaty negotiations?

  <p class="indent" pid="b115.1/6" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;to restore to this country the advantages of its spectacular marine wealth, and that is exactly what we will do, once we become an independent coastal state.&#8221;&#8212;[Official Report, <phrase class="date" code="2020-12-20">20 December</phrase> 2019; Vol. 444, c. 148.]</p>
