Schedule 1 - Adjusted compensation
Animal Health Bill
6:30 pm
Mrs Ann Winterton (Congleton, Conservative)
I intend to sum up quickly, but my hon. Friend the Member for Tiverton and Honiton has revealed the sting in the tail of our proceedings. I certainly agree with many of her points. I find it confusing that although we have found extraordinary things in the Bill, when we try to include things in it, we are patted on the head and told that it really does not matter and that things will be sorted out later by order or indication in consultation. The amendments are very important, and I can do no better than rely on my hon. Friends and tell you, Mr. Conway, that we wish to divide the Committee.
Question put, That the amendment be made:--
The Committee divided: Ayes 6, Noes 9.
