Proceeding contribution from Roger Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 18 April 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Commons Bill [HL].
Commons Bill [Lords]
: Although I supported the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, I saw no evidence that access to common land had ever been denied. I understood that people had de facto access, even if they did not have legal access. I tried to explain to farmers that people would not get off their sofas and stop watching television just to walk on common land because they had been given the legal right to do so.
