Proceeding contribution from Lord Howarth of Newport (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 9 March 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 assure my noble friend that I fully support the definition put forward by the noble Baroness, Lady Hooper. It is a serious point: the language was chosen because it draws precisely on the European Landscape Convention, which the Government have signed. It will not do for the Government now to say, "It is a bit vague, and not a perfect definition". It is a sufficient working definition, and the Government have by implication committed themselves to its endorsement.
