Clause 4 - Short title, commencement and extent
Equine Welfare (Ragwort Control) Bill
9:45 am
Mr Alun Michael (Minister of State (Rural Affairs), Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; Cardiff South and Penarth, Labour/Co-operative)
May I simply confirm that the hon. Gentleman is right about the impact of the amendment, as the Bill will have effect only in England and Wales. The amendment does not affect the possibility of a similar measure being introduced in Scotland if that is the wish of those with responsibility for such matters there.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 4, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
