Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (Labour) 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

My noble friend has got that right. The difference is between ““having regard to”” guidance, which is what Natural England has to do if it receives guidance, and ““having to comply with”” directions, which of course is what any non-departmental public body has to do.
