Clause 4 - HUNTING: ASSISTANCE
Hunting Bill
8:55 am
Mr James Gray (North Wiltshire, Conservative)
That is precisely my point. If the landowner does not know that an offence will be committed but merely suspects that one will be, the clause will not cover that. The use of the word ''knowingly'' indicates that the landowner knows for sure that an offence will be carried out. Surely the word ''suspects'' is better. That is why ''expressly'' is a better word in this context.
