Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 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]

On my amendments, the Minister seemed almost to be saying that one would recognise an area that is adjacent but not adjoining when one sees it. Would I be right in thinking that what is important is the context and the requirement for consultation and working with the relevant authorities, taking account of relevant plans and policies, rather than the detail of the definition? I am sorry to labour the point but someone at some time will say, ““Well Parliament meant””, and it would be nice to know what we do mean.
