Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

Apparently not. I agree with the noble Lord about the importance of this group of amendments, although I disagree fundamentally with all the comments made by noble Lords on it. We debated these issues on the Planning Bill, and we did so in anticipation of the marine Bill. It is somewhat puzzling that 12, 13, 14 weeks after the House has disposed of an issue we are called on to amend that legislation. Of course, it is entirely within the provenance of the House to do so—I do not argue with that—but at the very least it is puzzling that Members should seek so soon to change absolutely critical provisions in the Planning Bill.
