Proceeding contribution from Lord Livsey of Talgarth (Liberal Democrat) 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]

I am sure the Minister will remember that I previously cited the examples of two golf courses appearing on common land. One of the difficulties is that urban authorities are perhaps not so attentive to encroachment of common land as rural authorities, which have a much better handle on it. I merely draw to the noble Baroness’s attention that this happened and that the local authority decided in its wisdom—but I think otherwise—not to take any action. The dispute ended up in a five-year court case.
