Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

My Lords, I thank the Minister for his reply. He did at least from the Dispatch Box say exactly what I said should be put into the Bill. I do not know whether the noble Lord, Lord Wallace of Tankerness, has seen the letter that came today from the Minister in the other place and which extends a little the list that the noble Lord read out. It says that, ""an order under section 104 of the Scotland Act … will be taken forward at Westminster to ensure that Scottish marine plans only bind UK public authorities once they have been approved by UK Ministers"." However, it goes on to say that, ""the Scottish Government have offered up a greater say to the UK Government in the inshore region on planning and conservation designation"." Certain elements are coming in that complicate the area, but I will consider what the Minister has said. I will be interested to hear him say where he thinks an amendment such as this should go, but in the mean time I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 38 withdrawn.
