Proceeding contribution from Lord Knight of Weymouth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 29 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill 2005-06.


Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill

Lords amendment No. 17 specifically and only deals with national parks. Lords amendment No. 33 addresses the degree of naturalness that is needed to meet the natural beauty criteria for areas of outstanding natural beauty and thus clarifies matters for all definitions of natural beauty in statute. It is important to make that distinction. Lords amendment No. 17 deals with purpose, and we have a balance between purpose and criteria. Lords amendments Nos. 35 to 37 provide for the commencement of the provisions two months after the Act has passed. I commend the Lords amendments to the House.
