Proceeding contribution from Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 1 February 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

moved Amendment No. 156:"Page 3, line 20, at end insert—" ““(   )   Natural England shall publish an annual account of the amount and recipients of such assistance.”” The noble Baroness said: This small amendment arises from Clause 6 which enables Natural England to give financial and other assistance to any person who appears to further its general purpose. The amendment seeks to discover whether Natural England would be expected to publish an annual account of any recipient of that financial assistance. It is a public body. It will be funded by and large with public money. If it provides financial assistance to any persons that should also be public knowledge. I beg to move.
