This section relates to fees and costs which would be borne by the owners of animals in respect of, for example, applications for registration, licences or permits. No regulatory impact analysis was carried out in respect of the new Bill although this was done in respect of the previous proposed animal health and welfare Bill. What will be the cost implications for the agricultural sector in particular? What will be the fees? I acknowledge they will probably be set out by regulation. As time is getting short I will not speak further, but I seek an explanation from the Minister.
