Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

My noble friend has already undertaken to look at the amendment of the noble Baroness, Lady Young. If the noble Earl’s objective is that in looking at that amendment my noble friend should look also at the arguments he has put forward with regard to his amendment, I can give that assurance. I can probably sit down at this point because I may have nothing further to add. The noble Earl would expect that on other matters I would develop an argument expressing why we think we have thought through the issues carefully. If he will withdraw his amendment on the grounds that we will look at it at the same time as we consider the noble Baroness’s, we certainly will.
