Schedule 2 - The Hunting Tribunal
Hunting Bill
9:15 am
Mr James Gray (North Wiltshire, Conservative)
I refer the Minister to page 7, line 36, clause 18—clause 19 is similar. I shall read out clause 18(1) in case he has not been listening:
''Where the registrar refuses an application . . . the applicant or applicants may appeal to the Tribunal''.
Clause 18(2) states:
''Where the registrar grants an application . . . a prescribed animal welfare body may appeal to the Tribunal.''
Neither the provisions in the Bill nor the hon. Lady's amendments state that, ''Where the registrar refuses an application an animal welfare body may appeal to the tribunal.'' There is no provision for an animal welfare body to appeal against the refusal of an application.
