Clause 29
Commons Bill [Lords]
12:00 pm
Jim Knight (Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Rural Affairs, Landscape and Biodiversity), Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; South Dorset, Labour)
I apologise to the Committee—it would probably have been useful had I anticipated that request and circulated the documents in advance. They are available on the DEFRA website but I shall make sure that members of the Committee have copies. The net effect of the documents would be to reduce the demands and potential costs on those who want to create an association, but to leave them the flexibility that they need.
