Proceeding contribution from Lord Greaves (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 10 February 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]

Does the Minister understand that what is causing so much concern around the Chamber is his use of words such as ““distant”” objective? How distant is that? It might be 50 years. He also referred to ““gradual”” phasing. I think that phasing is acceptable to everyone but it is words such as gradual that are causing great concern around the Committee that the Government will simply not take this matter seriously.
