Clause 53 - Money
Hunting (Re-committed) Bill
5:15 pm
Mr Alun Michael (Minister of State (Rural Affairs), Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; Cardiff South and Penarth, Labour/Co-operative)
Although this has been a short and recalled Committee, I thank you, Mr. Pike, and ask you to thank Mrs. Roe for the way in which you have presided over this Committee. Committee members on both sides were probably reluctant to be brought back together after the long period we spent in one another's company the past. Nevertheless, we have dealt with the task that we were given by the House
and it is only right to thank the Clerk—who had to deal expeditiously with a considerable amount of business—as well as the Hansard writers, the attendants, the policemen and all those whose presence was essential to the Committee being able to complete its work.
