Public Bill Committees, 26 January 2006, 12:00 pm
Norman Baker (Shadow Secretary of State for the Environment, Environment, Food & Rural Affairs; Lewes, Liberal Democrat)
I hate to be pedantic, but as we are in 2006, should it not be the Animal Welfare Act 2006?
Ben Bradshaw (Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Local Environment, Marine and Animal Welfare), Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; Exeter, Labour)
Yes. In the published version of the Bill the year is given as 2005. That will be updated automatically in subsequent prints of the Bill.
