Proceeding contribution from Baroness Byford (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 27 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill.


Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill

My Lords, before the Bill passes, I would like to place on the record the thanks of these Benches to Ministers for the way in which they have dealt with the Bill. There have been some contentious issues to overcome. While I would have liked the whole loaf, half a loaf tonight in the protection of the rights of way is welcome. I would also like to express the disappointment of my noble friend the Duke of Montrose. Sadly, through a family death, he had to be in Canada and so was not able to be with us, but I know that he would like to join me in expressing our thanks to the Ministers and other noble Lords.
