My Lords, it is appropriate to consider coastal access—or should I say exercise, as the House changes mode? We raised this issue in Committee. I have modified the amendment slightly, but we still have very strong concerns about the way in which coastal margin will be extended out from the...

My Lords, I am grateful for the response of both noble Lords and pay tribute to our past debates. There were one or two occasions when the debates were more protracted than they needed to be to make a point to a listening Government. We were happy to listen. Amendment...

My Lords, Amendment 124FB is grouped with Amendment 124FBA. Clause 291 gives Natural England the flexibility to propose the establishment of the coastal route up estuaries to the first public foot crossing or to a point between the mouth of the river and that first crossing point. Estuaries throw up...

My Lords, we have Amendment 124FBA in this group. I think that the Minister would have found that the House would have agreed to the amendment to which he has just spoken even if he had not spoken to it. We certainly support it. Our amendment is rather smaller even...

My Lords, in Committee we had a discussion, which became a little surreal at some points, about alternative routes and optional alternative routes predicated under new Section 55C(4). At that stage, I asked whether it was sensible to lump together the optional alternatives that would be required because of the...

My Lords, we discussed in Committee the issue raised by the noble Lords, Lord Taylor, Lord Greaves and Lord Cameron, about whether a map could clarify the route, location and extent of the coastal margin. As my noble friend Lord Davies said in the debate, the line of a coastal...
