Bernard Jenkin will be pleased!

From today;s Hansard:
Dr. Kumar: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what his policy is on the provision of naturist beaches.

Barbara Follett: My officials have consulted colleagues in DEFRA, the Department responsible for beaches, who have advised that there is no specific policy on the provision of naturist beaches. However, The Marine and Coastal Access Bill will provide for a new right of access to the English coast and the expectation is that most beaches will be included within this, which will not affect any existing rights or permissions for naturists that may exist on the coast.

DEFRA officials are arranging a meeting with British Naturism to hear their views on the coastal access proposals.
Will it be a naturist style meeting I wonder? Wonder what Bernad Jenkin M thinks?
