Clause 29 - Amendment of Automatic conditions
Hunting Bill
5:30 pm
Mr James Gray (North Wiltshire, Conservative)
The Minister makes a convincing case and I hope that his hon. Friend will listen to him. There is no logic in removing the provisions for removing or varying conditions. However, we object to the clause, because it is a classic Henry VIII clause. Subsequent Secretaries of State with all kinds of views may use it to change the Bill fundamentally. We therefore oppose the clause.
