Clause 8 - Tests for registration: utility and least suffering
Hunting Bill

Mr Rob Marris (Wolverhampton South West, Labour)
I will not read the clauses out. Clause 15 deals with handling. Under the clause, regulations can be made to enable the registrar to request information. Clause 26 also deals with the handling of applications. Under the clause, the Secretary of State can make regulations enabling the registrar to request the provision of information. That would assist the registrar in making a decision and achieving the unachievable.
