Animal Welfare Bill

had given notice of her intention to move Amendment No. 60:"Page 8, line 28, leave out ““promoting”” and insert ““improving””" The noble Baroness said: I have already spoken to this amendment in the earlier group, but I would like to say three quick things to the Minister. In responding to the general premise in the debate on the clause and the regulatory committee, she said that these powers were needed, but emergency powers can always be achieved. If we have outbreaks of disease, emergency powers are achieved, so I do not agree with her on that. On deregulation and the use of secondary powers, yes, we can consider them. However, I say again what I said yesterday: we can have a debate on them, but we cannot alter them. Therefore, I am grateful to the Minister for the offer of getting together between now and Report to consider this further and shall not move the amendment. [Amendment No. 60 not moved.] [Amendments Nos. 61 to 68 not moved.] Clause 12 agreed to.
