Heads of Maritime Area and Foreshore (Amendment) Bill 2013: Discussion (Resumed)
12:25 pm
Mr. Peter Coyle:
It is worth mentioning the Scottish position. Scotland has a lesser wave resource than here and nature has determined that, not man. Scotland has done big things in this area already because the political will has been behind it and because they have the capacity to grant consent for projects. We will not have that capacity until this Bill is passed into law.
