Bill Wiggin (Shadow Minister (Agriculture & Fisheries), Environment, Food & Rural Affairs; Leominster, Conservative)
I beg to move amendment No. 73, in clause 10, page 5, line 18, at end insert—
‘(1A)Provisions promoting the welfare of animals under subsection (1) may only be made if the appropriate national authority is satisfied, on the basis of public scientific evidence, that those provisions are in fact necessary to promote such welfare.’.
