Labour — South East Cornwall

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 May 2025

Debate

Marine Biological Diversity Agreement

Contribution

The UK has led world-class conservation efforts, and this Government have rightly committed to the landmark high seas treaty, but we must act now, as without ratification the UK risks losing its place in shaping this vital treaty’s implementation and future direction. Can the Minister confirm when legislation to ratify the agreement will be introduced, or provide a clear timetable? If we want to stay at the table, we must claim our seat.
