Clause 8 - Tests for registration: utility and
Hunting Bill
9:15 am
Mr Rob Marris (Wolverhampton South West, Labour)
The tests put forward by the hon. Gentleman in amendment No. 113 are disjunctive. He said that there was no doubt that people enjoy hunting. Therefore, upon application, all someone has to say to the registrar is, ''I and my colleagues in this group registration enjoy hunting'', and that application must, according to the wording of his amendment, be passed under the utility test by the registrar. The registrar will have no alternative but to pass the application because the alternatives set out in amendment No. 113 are disjunctive. Is that the amendment's intention?
