I thank the Minister for her courteous response. I have listened carefully to what she has said. She suggested that the amendment may mean that Natural England could not review certain purposes more often. However, it is clear that the amendment does not say that. It specifies that matters should be kept under review not less than annually. In our short periods of debate on the Bill we have spent a considerable time debating the whole question of the general purpose clause. I have to say that I am very disappointed with the Minister’s answer and I wish to test the opinion of the Committee.
On Question, Whether the said amendment (No. 125) shall be agreed to?
Their Lordships divided: Contents, 29; Not-Contents, 55.
[Amendments Nos. 126 and 127 had been withdrawn from the Marshalled List.]
[Amendment No. 128 not moved.]
[Amendments Nos. 129 and 130 had been withdrawn from the Marshalled List.]
[Amendments Nos. 131 and 132 not moved.]
[Amendments Nos. 133 and 134 had been withdrawn from the Marshalled List.]
