Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 1 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL].


Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

My Lords, I recognise the serious intent and the size of the budget; I hope that the budget survives at that scale. The amendment was not intended to tie the Government in quite the way described by the noble Lord. The wording is: ""Natural England and the Secretary of State must endeavour to achieve the objectives"." However, it would not do our cause on this issue any good to be defeated on the amendment. I therefore beg leave to withdraw it. Amendment 124EA withdrawn.
