Clause 4 - Short title, commencement and extent
Equine Welfare (Ragwort Control) Bill
9:45 am
Mr John Greenway (Ryedale, Conservative)
The amendment and new clause make it clear that the Bill applies only to England and Wales, although I hope that the Scottish Parliament will take note of what we have done and introduce a comparable measure in due course. I hope to visit Perth race course later this month—not, sadly, for a race meeting, but to speak at a dinner. On the assumption that we make progress today, I can say that I shall spread the word, not the ragwort.
