§ Captain DUGDALEI beg to move, in page 4, line 13, to leave out from the, word "Act," to the word "a," in line 18, and to insert instead thereof the words:
in respect of a bull shall remain in force until one of the following events occurs, that is to say, until—
- (a) the licence or permit is revoked or becomes void under this Act; or
- (b) the bull dies or is castrated; or
- (c) the bull has been outside Great Britain for a consecutive period of fourteen days or such longer consecutive period as the Minister may allow; or
- (d) in the case of a permit, the period specified therein expires.
In computing for the purposes of this sub-section how long a bull has been outside Great Britain, the period of its absence shall be deemed to begin at the time when it is put on board any ship for the purpose of being carried out of Great Britain and to end at the time when it is landed in Great Britain on its return.(6) On.I am certain it is not the Minister's intention in this Bill to put ridiculous and useless regulations upon the agricultural industry, and by this Amendment 1004 it will be possible for a man who wishes to do so to take his bull to an agricultural show, say, in Ireland. I understand that the form of words put down is acceptable to the Minister.
§ Mr. TURTONI beg to second the Amendment.
§ The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Dr. Addison)I am glad to accept the Amendment.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Further Amendment made: In page 4, leave out lines 22 to 26.—[Captain Dugdale.]
