2 Apr 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551)

None whatsoever?

2 Apr 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551)

Do you have a timeline in mind?

2 Apr 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551)

Yes; thank you, Chair. Baroness Chapman, what are the timelines to ratify the high seas treaty and what stage are the Government at?

23
2 Apr 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551)

This is the final question because I know we are pushed for time. In terms of overall outcomes, would you say that those compliance measures are effective?

27
2 Apr 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551)

Michelle Willis, going back to stages 1 and 2, if I can, what are you doing to monitor the effectiveness of protecting the marine environment due to the measures that were introduced with those stages?

35
2 Apr 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551)

I will come back to you, if I can, on stages 1 and 2 in a second. But Rohan O’Hara, could you just answer my original question, please? Ronan O’Hara: In my capacity here today representing Crown Estate Scotland, I do not speak for the Scottish Government, but my understanding is that the nation of Scotland is committed

Has that work taken longer than you would have expected? Are there any lessons learned?

15
2 Apr 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551)

You said there that you have completed much of stages 3 and 4. How much? How far are we from completing them?

22
2 Apr 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551)

My first question is to all of you, please. To what extent will we achieve the 30 by 30 initiative, how are we currently performing against that target, and what is needed to make more progress? Can I start on the left with Olivia Thomas?

45
2 Apr 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551)

That is a good point to end on.

8
2 Apr 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551)

You mentioned the marine delivery route map, which leads me on to my final question. Will the Government consider adopting it as a strategic tool for marine planning?

28
2 Apr 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551)

In addition to the Marine Recovery Fund—and it would be good to write to the Committee and describe that from your perspective and how great that is—how does your Department co-ordinate with The Crown Estate and the Marine Management Organisation to ensure effective marine planning?

45
2 Apr 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551)

Baroness Chapman needs to go.

5
2 Apr 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551)

Your commitment is clear. You have said you are committed quite a few times there. So far, 21 countries have ratified the treaty, but quickly—and I will make this the last question—is it embarrassing that we have not got this over the line when you are in front of all these countries?

52
2 Apr 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551)

In terms of the resourcing that has been allocated to getting this over the line, to clarify, is it not a resourcing issue but purely a timetabling issue?

28
2 Apr 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551)

I understand that. You talked about getting legal ducks in a row, which makes perfect sense. Are there particular issues in implementing the legislation or is it purely a timetabling matter?

31
2 Apr 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551)

Yes.

1
2 Apr 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551)

You will not be ambitious enough to commit to June.

10
2 Apr 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551)

None whatsoever?

Do you have a timeline in mind?
