§ PROVISIONS SUPPLEMENTARY TO SS. 13 AND 14
§ Mr. RaisonI beg to move amendment No. 38, in page 16, line 37, at end add—
'(12) Nothing in this Part of this Act applies to anything done to an animal.'.This amendment is sought at the request of the British Veterinary Association, which has pointed out that a number of veterinary surgeons use acupuncture in conjunction with conventional treatment, that tattooing is an accepted method of marking animals for identification and that ear-piercing is used to mark cattle and sheep. Since the purpose of this part of the Bill is to protect humans from infection, it is desirable to amend it to make it clear that it is not concerned with animals.
§ Amendment agreed to.
