Proceeding contribution from Norman Baker (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill.

Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill

: I listened carefully to the right hon. Gentleman’s recitation of Baroness Young’s comments. Will he square those comments with the Environment Agency briefing that has been sent to all hon. Members? It states:"““We welcome the fact that the purposes proposed in clause 2 for Natural England remain distinctive and complimentary to our own functions . . . Natural England’s general purposes as set out in the bill are distinct from our own.””" It seems that the concern may have dissipated.
