Proceeding contribution from James Gray (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Marine and Coastal Access Bill [Lords].
Marine and Coastal Access Bill [Lords]
To correct one point, the hon. Member for Sheffield, Hillsborough (Ms Smith) has got her figures quite wrong. There is no proof at all that two and half miles is the longest stretch of coastline accessible throughout the rest of England. That is simply not the case; it is much longer than that. More interestingly, since the passage of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, the number of walkers going on to CROW-access land has fallen considerably. Far fewer people today are going on to the land than before the Act was passed.
