Jonathan Djanogly welcomes Government support for an amendment that replicates the EU law in respect of recognition of local customs and ensures a balance that will reassure many communities concerned about the Bill.
Mr Jonathan Djanogly (Huntingdon) (Con)
I thank the Minister for giving way, and I take this opportunity to thank her and the Secretary of State for having met colleagues on multiple occasions and listened. Many communities are fearful of the implications of this and, while I have not fallen in love with the Bill, the fact that amendment 2 will be made to it means that there will be a balance that was otherwise lacking. I congratulate her on listening.
Jo Churchill (The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)
I thank my hon. Friend. As many people who contributed to this debate have said, what we are seeking here is that balance.
