Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

I was grateful when the Minister referred to Amendment A281B, which clearly referred to those, ""living or working on the land"." However, I did not want people to think that we were there just for the landowner. The people who work the land are not necessarily the landowners. They could be tenant farmers or anybody, and clearly their safety is imperative. As for people camping where they should not, clearly that will not be possible on the narrowest bits. However, with the route that the Government are envisaging, there will be more, broader honey-pot areas that perhaps were not originally open—they may not be open for access now—but could well attract people to camp on them. As my noble friend said, around us, in the Midlands, we have certainly experienced it being nearly impossible to move people off. Have the Government thought enough about that, and how quickly one can put it into action? Do they need additional support to make sure that, should such encampments happen, they will be able to move them off?
