Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 April 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Maritime Industry.


Maritime Industry

: I am not sure whether the hon. Gentleman was at the end of his list, but I would like him to incorporate the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, which has a distinct and significant interest in the recycling and breaking of ships at the end of their lives. The improved environmental legislation that gets rid of single-hull ships will inevitably lead to more breaking. It must not happen on south Asian beaches where environmental standards are low.
