HC Deb 13 July 1981 vol 8 c879
Mr. King

I beg to move amendment No. 11, in page 6, line 26 after second 'bird', insert 'or other animal'.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this, it will be convenient to take Government amendments Nos. 28 and 29.

Mr. King

These amendments seek to pick up a point that has been made to us. The Bill seeks to prohibit the use of decoys and the use of a live bird that is hobbled or blind in order to kill or take any wild bird. It is equally appropriate that the provision should apply to any live animal and vice versa.

Amendment No. 29 clears up a drafting error and deletes the reference to "wild birds or" on page 13, line 33. I commend the amendments to the House.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendment made: No. 167, in page 7, line 1, leave out 'paragraph (a) of subsection (1)' and insert 'subsection (1)(a)'.
