I know my noble friend Lord Howard of Rising is very committed to nature and its conservation in very practical ways, especially at certain times of the year. He has set out a number of issues and this goes to the nub of what is proportionate in trying to make things right locally. He has raised some interesting examples from his own direct experience—I am conscious that we will be debating Part 3 in more detail later. We need to recognise that in the conservation of nature we have to work with farmers, landowners and the like, so it is important that we listen to examples raised.
