I move amendment No. a43a:

In page 23, between lines 26 and 27, to insert the following subsection:“(3) An authorised officer or person specified in animal health and welfare regulations (who is not a veterinary practitioner) shall not do anything under subsection (2)(a), (b) or (c) unless he or she has consulted with, or made a reasonable attempt in the circumstances to consult with, a veterinary practitioner in that regard.”.

It sounds complex but it is not.
