Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill

I thank the Minister for her remarks. Although there is an element of probing in the amendment, we must bear in mind the fact that we are discussing the major purposes of Natural England. Without any prioritisation or anything else, they were all going to stand absolutely equal. We may have to go away and find out whether, in continuity with previous legislation, this purpose had equal standing in previous legislation with the main purposes of bodies that we are replacing.
