Animal Welfare Bill – in a Public Bill Committee at 9:45 am on 26th January 2006.
I shall not repeat the explanations of clauses 40 to 44 in the explanatory notes. However, it may be helpful if I inform hon. Members that, on Report, the Government will move a small number of minor technical amendments to clauses 41 to 43 to keep them in line with minor changes being made to the parallel Scottish Bill, which is being examined by the Scottish Parliament. I shall explain the amendments on Report.
