Proceeding contribution from Baroness Byford (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

I am grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Carter, for his comments. The website will make a difference. At the moment the only way one can tackle this matter is by consulting Butterworths and that takes time. I am grateful to him for indicating that the new facility will be available to all noble Lords as from spring this year. The noble Baroness may wish to return to my next point at a later stage. I highlighted two extra providers—the electronic networks, which are springing up everywhere and which I presume fall within the framework of statutory undertakers, and cable TV. One would not necessarily think of them as statutory undertakers but I assume that even the newest and most modern ones are regarded as such. I am grateful for the noble Baroness’s comments. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 30 agreed to. Clause 31 agreed to. Schedule 4 [Joint Nature Conservation Committee]: [Amendments Nos. 264 and 265 not moved.]
