Proceeding contribution from Julian Lewis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Marine and Coastal Access Bill [Lords].

Marine and Coastal Access Bill [Lords]

I am grateful to the Secretary of State for taking this late intervention, but he spoke about the application of common sense to coastal access. Natural England has said that 37 per cent. of coastal pathways in the south-east are not yet legally secure. The Bill is intended to make them secure, but many of those pathways already have informal access. Common sense dictates that Natural England should follow that informal access and not lay down new access routes. Will the right hon. Gentleman assure the House about that?
