Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 March 2026

Debate

Peatland Restoration

Contribution

My Lords, I am grateful to the Minister for his reply to the right reverend Prelate and to the right reverend Prelate for referencing his diocese’s historic interests in the Norfolk Broads. I had the privilege of serving on the original Standing Committee to set up the Broads Authority. That was taken through, incidentally, by the noble Lord, Lord Moynihan. Is the Minister aware that the Broads Peat Partnership is doing a great deal of work to restore these habitats? Will he make sure that his department works with the Broads Authority carefully on this project? Is he satisfied that the Broads Authority is striking the right balance between commercial interests, such as boating and navigation, and protecting the natural environment?
