Commons Bill [HL]

I want to seek two points of clarification. My noble friend Lord Rotherwick is right that there is a real possibility that some of these commons may ultimately be under-grazed rather than over-grazed. If Natural England or the CCW acquired such rights, presumably it would be incumbent on them not to extinguish them but to hold them in perpetuity in case a time arose when they wished to exercise them to overcome a problem of under-grazing. My second point is that, if they acquire those rights, presumably that will enable them to become a member of a commons association. I can think of one or two commons in this country where, I know, they would not be very welcome.
