Proceeding contribution from Duke of Montrose (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

: There is one point that I would like to put to the Minister. The purposes that are outlined there deal with promoting access to the countryside and open spaces and encouraging open-air recreation. The fact that we might want to mention the economic and environmental well-being of rural communities is in some ways a balance to that, for those who are concerned about those things, without trying in any way to denigrate the importance of the urban environment.
