I turn to Amendment 311. We have already discussed mitigation hierarchy at some length and, I hope, provided suitable assurance that the mitigation hierarchy is already given effect through this new model. In contrast to the well-trodden territory of mitigation hierarchy, the concept of a delivery hierarchy is new. The noble Earl is likely introducing this to support Amendment 274, which was debated on Monday, where expressions of interest are sought from bodies other than Natural England to deliver conservation measures to give preference to those bodies.
