On receipt of the report of the Lords Committee on the Malvern Hills Bill, David Core, Vice Chairman and Chair of Governance of The Malvern Hills Trust said:
“We welcome that the Committee has accepted the need for the Bill and endorsed the case for modernising the Trust’s governance.
“As with every private Bill that passes through Parliament, there will be changes that need to be made to balance the needs and views of different people – indeed, that is the point of Parliament.
“We accept the amendments in that spirit and will continue to work openly with locals, levy-payers, representative bodies and users of the Hills as the Bill progresses.”
