§ 5.58 p.m.
§ Lord MELCHETTMy Lords, I beg to move that this House doth not insist on their Amendments Nos. 10B to 10S en bloc to which the Commons have disagreed for the Reason numbered 10T. It may be convenient if I also speak to the Commons Amendment No. 35C to your Lordships' Amendment No. 35B, which is consequential to the above Amendments. These Amendments will achieve a single object: they would have provided in the Bill for there to be a separate land acquisition and management scheme for the area of the Peak District National Park. I do not suppose even in this House I could claim, that there was a complete consensus approach between both sides of Parliament to this non-controversial and reasonable Bill. But in this case I think it can be fairly stated—although I am not sure that we have the support of the Sand and Gravel Association—that we have the support of the Opposition Front Bench in another place, and I hope that noble Lords will not insist on these Amendments.
§ Moved, That this House doth not insist on their Amendments Nos. 10B to 10S, to which the Commons have disagreed for the Reason numbered 10T—(Lord Melchett.)
§ Lord SANDFORDMy Lords, these arrangements referred to in 10T, as opposed to the arrangements set out in all the other Amendments that we are now talking about up to 10S, are arrangements of the kind that 25 years' experience and all the contemporary evidence have shown are not conducive to the achievement of the very purposes for which the National Parks were set up. As I explained at an earlier stage, and therefore have no intention of explaining again, they bear no correspondence to the powers already conferred by Statute on the Peak Park Planning Board.
