Clause 14 - Application on behalf of group
Hunting Bill
6:45 pm
Mr James Gray (North Wiltshire, Conservative)
I am indeed coming to the end of my remarks, Mr. Stevenson, but it must be understood that the registrar, who is required to consider the maximum number, will be bemused by the definition of the words ''to hunt''. The definition in clause 45 is wildly inadequate, despite the Minister shaking his head. The courts have a long job ahead of them in trying to take decisions on that, so it is very important that we should agree to the amendment.
Question put, That the amendment be made:—
The Committee divided: Ayes 6, Noes 19.
