Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Glentoran (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 3 March 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bills on Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL].

The Minister is right: this was intended to be a purely probing amendment to open the debate on the complex issue of overlapping boundaries, overlapping authorities and so on. Today we had another very helpful set of maps from the Secretary of State’s office. I have not had time to study them in detail, but they have been very helpful. It might interest the noble Lord, Lord Hunt, to know that I mentioned in another situation the huge helpfulness of his team in another department in producing the maps and all the rest of it. I was hoping that the noble Lord, Lord Livsey, would come in, because he was not here when I first started. I thank him for rising to the debate. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment A99 withdrawn.
