Part of Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill – in a Public Bill Committee am 12:00 pm ar 5 Gorffennaf 2005.
I wish to make just a small point about schedule 11, about which the Minister will perhaps be able to help us. Paragraph 41 of schedule 11, on page 74, contains the title
''General functions of the Countryside Council for Wales''.
Further on in the paragraph, the schedule gives the power that the Countryside Council of Wales may
''make such charges for any of their services as they think fit''.
That probably gives too great a power for even a Welsh body to carry out. I seek assurance from the Minister that such a power would be subject to secondary legislation by the Welsh Assembly and would require consultation.
