Lords ChamberMy Lords, I am satisfied that the NPPF will protect ancient woodland.
My Lords, the Minister has said that he will not speculate on the content of the final version. Can he tell us when our speculation will end, when it will be published and when we can judge for ourselves whether the final version of the NPPF gives equal weight to longer-term environmental and social concerns, as it undoubtedly will to more immediate demands for economic growth?
My Lords, the short answer to my noble friend is: the end of the month.
