Proceeding contribution from Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 20 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill.

Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill

moved Amendment No. 130A:"Page 22, line 8, at end insert—" ““(   )   This section shall apply to existing sites.”” The noble Baroness said: My Lords, in Committee the noble Lord helped to resolve the missed owner/occupier issue with regard to SSSIs. However, that will come into force only once the NERC Bill is enacted and will assist only with the new sites that are notified. It is very welcome but will not address the historic issue of missed owners and occupiers within the 4,000 plus existing sites. At Hansard cols. 74 and 75 on 27 February, the noble Lord undertook to consider making Amendment No. 301 retrospective. I hope that he has considered the matter and has something optimistic to tell the House this afternoon. I beg to move.
