Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill

I urge the noble Baroness to consider that she may be over-prescriptive—almost ideological— on this point, if I dare say so. Surely we want flexibility. The great thing about ““provide”” is that it does not exclude commissioning, whereas ““commissioning”” would exclude Natural England doing something itself if it felt it were the obvious thing to do. I do not think we want to say that it must be one thing or the other. We want what is best for the particular situation. Some training may be in-house; a lot may be commissioned. I think ““provide”” is a more inclusive term than ““commission””.
