Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

My Lords, as always, I am most grateful to the Minister for his helpful response to my remarks. I am reassured by much of what he has said. It would be useful if he could give some further thought to what has been said, not just by me but also by my noble friends Lady Byford and Lady Carnegy, who suggested that some help might be given by recognising, to a greater degree, the substance of what the noble Lord has said today. I do not want him to think that I am anything other than extremely grateful for the distance which the Government have already travelled in this respect.
