Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

I certainly understand the question of hierarchy and I have agreed to have a look at this matter. I could not resist praying in aid the noble Baroness, Lady Carnegy, because she put up a very robust defence of the wording in the Bill. On the noble Lord’s question regarding what the Bill is all about, one has to reflect that different parts of the Bill have slightly different approaches because they are dealing with different matters. They also reflect previous legislation. However, we also must reflect that there is a balance to be brought to achieve sustainability in its best sense. We have tried to express that in terms of IFCAs in this part of the Bill, but we need to look at the issue to make sure we have got it right, and I look forward to further discussions.
