Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 30 January 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bills on Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill 2005-06.

Some of the Minister’s remarks were very helpful, and I will read them carefully. On the general purpose, will he enlighten the House about the marine area? That is not mentioned specifically in the Bill, which talks only of landscape and, for a lot of people, the sea does not come under the definition of landscape. English Nature has responsibilities out to a certain limit; are they envisaged to be the same for Natural England, or are the Government considering extending them?
