Proceeding contribution from Lord Greaves (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 16 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 am not sure whether I should apologise to the Committee for parading my lifetime amateur interest in geomorphology. The first time I tabled an amendment about these words was in respect of the CROW Bill nine years ago. I am not sure which way around the words were or which side I was on. I am in favour of consistency and geomorphology is now in current use and better understood than it used to be. It would be interesting to know whether the Minister believes that the words "geomorphological" and "physiographical" are synonyms and, if not, in what ways they differ. Perhaps he will write to me on this important matter.
