Deep Sea Mining Act 2014
The Deep Sea Mining Act 2014 (c. 15) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It received royal assent on 14 May 2014.
It is unusual as this bill passed through parliament as a private member's bill, it was sponsored by Sheryll Murray MP and Baroness Wilcox.
The act creates a legal framework for the deep sea mining industry. The act enables the deep sea mining sector to be regulated in a modern way and aims to prevent damage to the environment.
The act amends the Deep Sea Mining (Temporary Provisions) Act 1981 so that the UK government can grant licences for deep sea mining, and so that the 1981 act is aligned with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
The Shadow Foreign Office Minister Kerry McCarthy criticised the legislation for not providing enough environmental protections.
