Animal Health and Welfare Bill 2012: Committee Stage
4:00 am
Susan O'Keeffe (Labour)
I support the retention of the word "necessary". I believe that in both cases, the word "necessary" is what gives this Bill its strength and makes it stand out from where we have been. Most farmers will assume the reasonable thing, but to make it necessary is at the heart of what this Bill is about. I appreciate the Minister will obviously look at it, but I would like to see the word "necessary" retained in both cases.
