Clause 8, page 8, line 25, at end insert—
(3) The power to make regulations under this section shall be exercisable by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.
EARL PERRERSMy Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 8. This is a drafting Amendment. Owing to a fault in the original drafting the form of Parliamentary control over The regulation-making power prescribing the methods alternative to stunning for rendering animals insensitive to pain prior to slaughter, was omitted. This Amendment prescribes the same form of Parliamentary control as applies generally to regulations governing humane slaughter; namely by statutory instrument,, subject to the Negative Resolution procedure. I beg to move.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—[Earl Ferrers.]
