Proceeding contribution from Lord Greaves (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 30 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]

As the Minister said, we are getting on to estuaries, but I would rather leave the detail and the probing questions I have until we reach them in the Bill. The purpose of this amendment is to find out what kind of gap in service is acceptable before a coastal pathway becomes a seasonal long-distance route, which is a new concept altogether. If a ferry service runs only in the summer, it cannot become part of a long-distance route. It might be an optional way of getting across for people on the long-distance route, but it is not a satisfactory position. I suspect that the Minister has nothing further to say.
