Clause 27
Marine and Coastal Access Bill [Lords]
10:30 am
Andrew George (St Ives, Liberal Democrat)
I wish briefly to ask the Minister for some clarification, or at least reassurance, on the charges that might be applied, particularly with regard to clauses 25 and 26. Subsection (1) of clause 27 refers to the reasonableness of the charges, but it would be helpful if the Minister were to clarify how those who will be charged by the MMO will be reassured that those charges are reasonable, how they will be set and the basis on which they can be tested and challenged if considered unreasonable by those on whom they are imposed.
