High Speed Rail (West Midlands–Crewe) Bill - Report (1st Day) – in the House of Lords at 7:30 pm on 30th November 2020.
Moved by Lord Blencathra
6: After Clause 58, insert the following new Clause—“Preservation of ancient woodlandsThe scheduled works must not destroy any ancient woodlands, either directly or indirectly.”
Ayes 38, Noes 222.
We now come to Amendment 7. Does the noble Lord, Lord Blencathra, wish to move it?
In view of the fact that we are running very late, and there is an important Covid Statement coming up, I do not wish to try the patience of the House—or of the Chief Whip, for that matter, so I shall not move Amendment 7.
Amendments 7 and 8 not moved.
Consideration on Report adjourned.
