Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill

moved Amendment No. 357:"Page 83, line 11, after ““Wales”” insert ““(including their adjacent territorial waters)””" The noble Lord said: This group of eight minor amendments address two technical issues that I do not intend to take long in describing to the Committee. The first three are small clarifications to three paragraphs within Schedule 11 of minor and consequential amendments. They will ensure that there is consistency of application within the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, clarifying whether particular provisions apply to the 12-mile territorial waters round England and Wales. Amendment No. 359 adds a new sub-paragraph within paragraph 76 of the schedule. That reflects a late clarification from the Scottish Executive that it does not want the new definition of ““premises”” introduced in Committee in the Commons to apply in Scotland. The other two small consequential amendments are Amendments Nos. 357 and 358. The remaining five amendments contain small consequential amendments that make minor amendments to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. I remind noble Lords that the term ““limestone pavement”” refers not to pavements outside a house but to outcrops of rock, whose surface has been dissolved by water over millions of years. I knew that noble Lords would know that. I beg to move. On Question, amendment agreed to.
