For hedging purposes generally, the closer the planting station the better, within range limits of 18 in to 35 in . . . That is ludicrous. If we are not careful, if a Bill such as this were allowed to pass unamended, it would be a vehicle for a large volume of complaints based on the loose definition that the Bill offers, which does not sound anything like a hedge to my hon. Does my hon. My right hon.
Friend is right.
That is my big concern. People have not woken up to the implications of the Bill, and when they do, they may well decide, out of spite or other reason, to make a complaint against their neighbour. The consequences in terms of administration, worry and all the rest of it would be considerable. He will be aware of the statutory definition in the Highways Act 1959. That definition implies that there is a difference between the three, yet the definition in the Bill will effectively merge them.
