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]

Solar-powered, of course. My only problem is with the Minister saying that, on capital spending, he prefers the government scheme to IFCAs being able to borrow money. Personally, I have not heard enough to understand the government scheme or how it will work. If an IFCA has up to 16 local authorities in it, how will they all get together to borrow any necessary money or to make arrangements to be repaid for it from revenue? I can see how it could work, as local authorities, by and large, behave sensibly when they are faced with a problem and have to do something, but it would be nice to understand how the Government think their scheme will work.
