I move amendment No. 30:

In page 18, between lines 30 and 31, to insert the following subsection:
“(12) Nothing in subsection (1)(a) or (e) prevents the training of an animal by persons competent to train the animal provided--(a) unnecessary suffering is not thereby caused to the animal,
(b) the public does not have access to the place where training occurs, and
(c) any activity involved in the training of the animal is not prohibited by animal health and welfare regulations.”.

This amendment has already been discussed with amendment No. 27 and I am withdrawing it.
