Proceeding contribution from Greg Knight (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 12 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Emergency Workers (Obstruction) Bill.


Emergency Workers (Obstruction) Bill

My hon. Friend the Member for Hexham (Mr. Atkinson) expressed concern about heather burning, but I cannot see that a farmer would fall foul of the Bill, unless the heather burning was regarded as an emergency. The farmer might experience other problems as a result of other legislation, but if he is keeping his heather burning under control, presumably the Bill would present him with no difficulty.
