Motion text

That this House calls on the Government to introduce a statutory duty on coastal local authorities to plan for and undertake shoreline clean-ups following marine pollution incidents; emphasises that this can only be successfully achieved if the Government provides more resources and funding for emergency planning; and notes that a creation of statutory duty was recommended by both the Lord Donaldson Inquiry following the Braer oil spill in 1994, and the report of the Sea Empress Environmental Evaluation Committee in 1996, but that the Government has yet to act.
