Clause 11 - Power to charge for services and licences
Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill
5:00 pm
Roger Williams (Brecon and Radnorshire, Liberal Democrat)
I have listened to the explanation from the Minister and I accept that it would be more appropriate for the consultation to be carried out by Natural England than by the Secretary of State. Perhaps the Minister could reflect on making it a requirement in the Bill that, before charging, Natural England should consult those people who would be liable to meet those charges.
