Proceeding contribution from Lord Greaves (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 12 January 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL].


Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

No one is arguing about any of that. The tangle arises from this amendment. The Minister is in a tangle in trying to defend the wording. Will he please go away and get one of his draftsmen to write a paragraph that means in practice what he wants to happen? That is all we are asking. This is not a major issue of principle. There is clearly a case to be made that this paragraph is, in the Minister’s words, ““a tangle””. Will he please take it away and look at it? The Minister is shaking his head.
