Proceeding contribution from Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 11 November 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Marine and Coastal Access Bill (HL).


Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

My Lords, I think that your Lordships have had enough excitement for this evening—perhaps the Minister is sailing in calmer waters than the Minister in the previous debate did. I thank him for his explanations. As he said, these are largely technical and consequential amendments. I am very pleased, as I am sure other noble Lords are, to hear of the agreements made with the devolved authorities to ensure that this applies to all the waters around the United Kingdom in a way that this House would wish. It is perhaps a pattern for the future that augurs well for joint working between Whitehall and the devolved authorities. I am very pleased that the Minister has been able to report on the matter to the House this evening
