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, the amendment is about a fair balance. The imbalance is in the consultation, as Natural England will have to consider representations from persons with a relevant interest but not to consult bodies representing user groups and the public. That is why this is particularly important. The imbalance is not corrected in the new schedule, or at least it is not without reaching the point having a public inquiry. We have thrashed this out as much as we are going to. After reading the whole Bill with the new schedule, colleagues in the Commons might wish to re-rehearse some of the arguments. At this stage, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 124EZB withdrawn.
