Proceeding contribution from Lord Inglewood (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 14 November 2005. It occurred during Committee proceeding and Debate on bill on Commons Bill [HL].

Commons Bill [HL]

If the Minister will allow me to put the point I wanted to make, he can answer it in a letter. It relates to the development of a wind farm on a common, particularly if the owner of the common owns land adjacent to it, each wind turbine taking up only few square feet. On the basis of what the Minister has said, the owner can exchange a small piece of his land on the edge of the common, thereby taking the site on which the proposed development would stand outside the definition of a common. Is that correct?
