Proceeding contribution from Lord Deben (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]

Is it not disappointing that on two occasions, once today and once yesterday, when the Government have done so much on the Bill, they failed to understand that giving a commitment such as protecting an ecosystem is crucial for people outside to believe that we understand how all this works? To deny that is to say something very old-fashioned—that we can pick bits out and defend those, without understanding that the ecosystem as a whole is what we ought to be concerned to preserve.
