I move amendment No. 105:

Amendments Nos. 105 to 111, inclusive, are a series of corrections to the list of statutory instruments being carried forward under the Bill. In some cases a statutory instrument that was in force when the Bill commenced has been replaced. The conscious choice was made, when drafting the Bill, to specify what statutory instruments under the Diseases of Animals Act 1966 were being continued into force. The approach provides for greater clarity than the alternative wide approach of simply stating that all existing statutory instruments are retained as if made under the new legislation. My amendments just update the legislation since the original draft was made quite some time ago.
