House of Commons

Dear Lucy Powell,

I’m writing to urge you to make time in the parliamentary schedule to pass the Global Ocean Treaty into UK law.

The UK government has committed to putting nature and climate at the heart of foreign policy. Yet so far, it is falling short of that promise.

Last month, Greenpeace activists climbed the entrance to the Foreign Office and supporters sent over 18,000 emails to David Lammy, with a clear message: “Global Ocean Treaty now!” The response from the FCDO was that the main issue is not having parliamentary time, something you could give them.

As you know, passing this Treaty will involve a number of steps – which is why it’s crucial to begin the process now, especially ahead of the UN Ocean Conference this June. Baroness Chapman recently said that she would love the Leader of the House to tell her “This is when we will do it”.

It would be deeply disappointing if the UK arrived at the conference without having shown meaningful parliamentary progress on protecting 30% of the world’s oceans by 2030 – something that the UK has made a commitment to.

Will you ensure the Global Ocean Treaty is given time in Parliament as a priority?

Yours sincerely,

Lucy Powell: make time for the Global Ocean Treaty

It’s clear: The Global Ocean Treaty needs parliamentary time to become UK law.

World leaders agreed to a historic Global Ocean Treaty over two years ago, paving the way to protect 30% of our oceans.

But for the Treaty to enter into force, sixty countries must sign it into law – and the UK should be one of them. But we’ve just been told that the only reason this isn’t happening is because of the parliamentary timetable.

Lucy Powell, Leader of the House of Commons, needs to make parliamentary time for it.
