Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

My Lords, I shall be brief in response to these government amendments, but I shall express my pleasure that the arguments in Committee from my noble friends Lord Cathcart and Lord Kingsland have borne such fruit. The Minister has brought back some comprehensive amendments to clarify what a remediation notice may involve, and to explicitly cover the question of remediation and restoration. Having said that, noble Lords have raised some interesting questions; indeed, my noble friend Lord Kingsland has raised some in speaking to his own amendment. I look forward to hearing the Minister’s response to those.
