Written question asked by Lord Patten (Conservative) on Thursday, 19 May 2016, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Friday, 3 June 2016. It was answered by Lord Gardiner of Kimble (Conservative) on Thursday, 26 May 2016 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.


Rights of Way

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Gardiner of Kimble on 29 April (HL7747), whether the regulations regarding rights of way provisions that will be subject to affirmative resolution will also be subject to any further public consultation.

Answer

The changes to the public path order regime that the Government is introducing were part of a full public consultation carried out in May 2012. We are now implementing those changes through amendments to the Local Authorities (Recovery of Costs for Public Path Orders) Regulations 1993. We are consulting further with both the Stakeholder Working Group and local authorities on the detail of the amendments.
