Defence (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2006: Committee Stage
11:00 am
Joanna Tuffy (Labour)
If our amendment was accepted, the Interpretation Act would still apply to the parent legislation. This would be new legislation to which the Interpretation Act did not apply because it would be clear that it referred to "his" or "her". I do not understand the reason the Minister will not accept the amendment.
