The Deregulation Bill, 2013

The coalition Government is working up a Deregulation Bill, aimed at reducing bureaucracy, and some sections have been included relating to rights of way, etc, which may provide an opportunity to secure new legislation on the subject. At the initiative of our President, Lord Bradshaw, proposals which we supported have been put to the Joint Parliamentary Committee, for specific additions to the Bill which would make offroading illegal at least in the National Parks and AONBs, and within World Heritage Sites. We wait to hear whether these amendments have been accepted.
