Clause 9 - The registrar
Hunting Bill
4:15 pm
Mr Ian Cawsey (Brigg and Goole, Labour)
I just hope that the curse of Hello! magazine does not come back to haunt the hon. Gentleman. We all noted with amusement that his relationship was described as high-octane, which perhaps means that he has lead in his pencil. I am not absolutely sure.
For all the reasons that I have outlined, if the amendments are agreed in their current form, they will not do a service to the Bill. Moreover, they will make the appointment of a registrar, which we all agree will be an extremely important post, more difficult to make.
