Proceeding contribution from Duke of Montrose (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 15 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill.

Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill

My Lords, I thank the Minister for her explanation as far as it went. I thank also the noble Baroness, Lady Miller of Chilthorne Domer, for her support. Amendment No. 112 applies to Clause 27, which refers to continuing powers to make transfer schemes, but the Minister said the powers would be needed particularly in the winding-down of the existing bodies and the setting-up of the new body. If that is all the powers are required for, would it not be better to confine them to that element rather than make them continuing powers?
