Marine Special Protection Areas

Lord Cormack Excerpts

Monday 21st May 2018 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Vere of Norbiton]

I agree with the noble Lord. We are not aware of any major impact on plans or projects from the regulations currently in place.

[Lord Cormack (Con)]

My Lords, I remind my noble friend that there is a Bill before your Lordships’ House dealing with the appalling damage caused to our parish churches by bats. Will she look very sympathetically on those provisions, because our parish churches are as important to tourism as are the Isles of Scilly?

[Baroness Vere of Norbiton]

My Lords, it was my great pleasure to be the Whip on the Front Bench for that Bill on that Friday. I listened to the arguments. It could not have escaped anyone’s attention that the Bill did not receive support from any of the Front Benches.
