Proceeding contribution from Earl Peel (Conservative) 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
Before the Minister sits down, I still have a degree of confusion about this. As things stand, if a farmer were to apply for a grant that was of a rural development as well as an agri-environment nature, that would be dealt with by the Rural Development Service. But if and when the Bill is passed, if I have understood what the Minister said correctly, the agri-environment part of the scheme will in future be dealt with by Natural England, whereas the rural development part will be dealt with by the Regional Development Agency. If the Minister could confirm that, I would be grateful. If that is the case, it is perhaps a little more disjointed than I had hoped it would be.
