Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 28 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]

I will certainly withdraw the amendment. The determination of the Government to ensure consistency is not in doubt from what the Minister says. However, I am still a little unclear about how the legislation will support that. I appreciate that a good deal of debate has gone before this evening’s exchanges that I may be ignoring. I wrote down the Minister’s comment on the list of policy authorities: "““If, as we intend, all four Administrations agree””." I thought I was the Pollyanna around here, but I am clearly in good company. I will read what the Minister has said, to make sure that I understand the process, as distinct from the intent. I beg leave to withdraw Amendment 85AA. Amendment 85AA withdrawn. Amendment 85AB not moved. Clause 42 agreed.
