Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

My Lords, I thank the Minister for the extremely helpful letter that was sent to Peers showing, in language that was not that much easier but in more narrative form, the effect of these amendments. I congratulate him on the final paragraph in the annexe dealing with this suite of amendments. He repeated the first sentence of it about his confidence that, ""this drafting delivers the right result"." Yet I cannot resist sharing with the House the second sentence, which reads: ""Whilst it will never be possible to draft for every eventuality, it must be remembered that the duty to act in accordance with the MPS and plans permits public authorities to take other ‘relevant considerations’ into account, which enables flexibility in the future to adapt to unforeseen circumstances"." I thought that was masterly.
