Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill

My Lords, perhaps I may reflect on a couple of points. I raised the question of the incompatibility of one issue with another. The letter that the noble Baroness, Lady Byford, read out, stressed that we are asking two sets of people who cannot co-exist to share a right of way. Noble Lords know that I am closely associated with the police. The police find it extremely difficult to prosecute people under present legislation. If somebody has submitted a claim which has not been dealt with, can they go on using that right of way with a motorised vehicle until that claim has been finalised?
