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]

I am grateful for that explanation. I would like to make it clear that my aim is not to disturb the devolution settlement, but to support devolution as much as possible. That is why I approached this paragraph with what the noble Lord described as scepticism—that is not unfair, actually. As he has confirmed, agreement is required even though more than the retained matters will be the subject of the plan. I am grateful for the material which the Government have given as regards the patchwork quilt of powers, and I will further consider what the Minister has said. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 89JZB withdrawn. Amendment 89JZC not moved.
