Proceeding contribution from Lord Benyon (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Marine and Coastal Access Bill [Lords].


Marine and Coastal Access Bill [Lords]

The Minister mentioned local access forums. They are feeling a little unloved at the moment, so will he give his leadership and ensure that they are genuinely consulted? Local access forums have a wealth of experience and understand what is required in delivering greater access, and they do that for next to nothing. They are a cheap and welcome addition to the expertise that already exists, but the Minister might like to put his weight behind ensuring that they feel part of the process.
