Dog Breeding Establishments Bill 2009: Committee Stage (Resumed)
11:00 am
Dominic Hannigan (Labour)
I move amendment No. 4:
In page 8, between lines 16 and 17, to insert the following subsection:
"(6) Without prejudice to the executive function of determining any additional conditions specific to a particular registration, the determination of conditions of a general character to apply to any registration in the functional area of the local authority is a reserved function.".
The amendment proposes to give a role to elected members of local authorities to ensure they can have an input into the regulations that will govern the scheme. It is a straightforward amendment and I ask the Minister to take it on board.
