Lord Fuller (Con)
My Lords, I am disappointed that the Minister did not adequately engage on the issues that I raised. For example, he mentioned biodiversity as being a matter, but that is not included at all, in any way, shape or form, in the Amendment 38 that he moved. I just think there is an insufficient balance between carbon and those other matters on sustainability.
It looks like we may have lost the battle this evening, but make no mistake: Labour’s war on the countryside continues. In the circumstances, I will not press this to the vote, and I beg leave to withdraw my amendment with disappointment.
The Deputy Speaker (Lord Faulkner of Worcester) (Lab)
The noble Lord should not have spoken to the amendment if he intended not to move it, but we will take that as not moved.
