Debate

Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Bill

Contribution

In conclusion, our amendments share the aim of strengthening this Bill by ensuring proportionate oversight and clear accountability to Parliament and the British public. They would ensure that Parliament remains properly informed; that ministerial powers are exercised transparently; and that our world-leading scientists and industries can comply with the new regime without unnecessary bureaucratic burden. Far from hindering the Bill, our amendments would bolster its credibility and effectiveness, supporting our international obligations and, crucially, our British national interests. On that basis, I commend them to the House.
