To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if he will publish the report of the Marine Protected Areas and Mobile Species desk study MB0114 at the earliest opportunity; and if he will extend the deadline for submissions to his Department's consultation on proposals for designation of marine conservation zones to take account of the time taken to publish that report.

A copy of the draft report of the Marine Protected Areas and Mobile Species desk study (MB0114) is now available on DEFRA's website. I will not be extending the deadline for submission to the Consultation on proposals for designation of Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs), as this will jeopardise designation of MCZs planned for later this year.
