Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill

For the sake of accuracy, we did not start at quarter to nine on the first day. As the noble Baroness will recall, there were delays on the first day, but what will appear in Hansard, unless I correct it, will suggest that we started at quarter to nine on both days, which she will acknowledge is incorrect. While I am on my feet, I am sure she will also acknowledge that it is not entirely within my control or anyone else’s how long debates take.
