Proceeding contribution from Duke of Montrose (Conservative) 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

My Lords, first, I thank the Minister for giving a full explanation of the Government’s attitude and their understanding of the way that volunteers will fit into local authority activities and it was useful to hear that on the Floor of the House. The other Government amendments are also welcome. Regarding the realistic point raised by the noble Baroness, Lady Miller of Chilthorne Domer, about local authorities previously not being included, it is appropriate to see that the Government have included them now. Anything such as Amendments Nos. 157 and 158 that clarify the legislation is useful.
