Proceeding contribution from Viscount Ullswater (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

It does, but I think that that is a given. At any inquiry, Natural England will have to make its mind up and give its opinion. I was asking whether Natural England would have any influence on the Government’s thinking in the decision-making process. Is there joined-up government or do the Government take decisions in various boxes and then, depending on the needs of one particular box, decide that they can overrule a very important advisory body?
