As I said, the appropriate measure in which to do this is the Regulation of Lobbying Act or through the reform of the Freedom of Information Act. The Deputies are talking about agri people who use our maritime area, fishermen, tourists and sportspeople. If people really want to do that, it has to be specified in the reform of the Regulation of Lobbying Act or the Freedom of Information Act. That is the appropriate mechanism to do this, not a single piece of primary legislation in the maritime area. That is my response.
