Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill

The hon. Gentleman is right. A large proportion of users cause no serious problems or damage. My purpose in reading out the quotes was to emphasise to the House that, unless we take action by accepting the amendments and new clauses, we will find that what has already happened, namely, a surge in the number of new applications for BOATs, will become a flood the moment tonight’s proceedings are concluded. That is my big worry, and that is my purpose in making those points.
