Proceeding contribution from Duke of Montrose (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 8 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. 236:"Page 49, line 27, leave out sub-paragraph (3)." The noble Duke said: Once again, this is a repeat of some questions we asked about Natural England. In response, the first time around, the Minister promised to get us answers and a certain number were given in Hansard. However, the question on the appointments system remains. Under the proposed system, the board could well comprise over 50 per cent of the original members in ten years’ time. Will the present system still stand? I do shall not move Amendment No. 237. I beg to move Amendment No. 236.
