Proceeding contribution from Countess of Mar (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 24 January 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill.


Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill

My Lords, I declare an interest as a partner in a small family farm. When I first heard that this organisation was being called Natural England, I thought ““What on earth does that mean?””. I think that the noble Lord, Lord Dixon-Smith, is right: we need to have something that describes this more fully. Natural England means nothing.
