Lord Lemos Excerpts

Wednesday 18th March 2026 Lords Chamber

[Lord Birt (CB)]

My Lords—

[Lord in Waiting/Government Whip (Lord Lemos) (Lab)]

We will hear from the Conservatives next.

[Baroness Prentis of Banbury (Con)]

It is nice to be back. I remember just enough of the rules to know that I should declare my interest as a trustee of the Countryside Alliance. I remember only too well how hard it is to bid for legislative time, particularly in Defra, and I am concerned that other priorities will be overtaken if this consultation and legislation go ahead. Does the Minister really not have other things that she would rather do?
