This section provides definitions for the Bill, but the phrase "greyhound racing" is only used for the insertion of text into the Animal Remedies Act 1993 in section 18 of the Bill and, as such, it is not appropriate to insert the definition here. This is not a greyhound bill; it is not about the greyhound industry or greyhound racing. I do not see any need to have a definition of greyhound racing in this Bill. I do not see what purpose it would serve.
