§ 7.19 p.m.
§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Northern Ireland Office (Lord Elton) rose to move, That the draft order laid before the House on 13th April be approved. The noble Lord said: My Lords, This order consolidates the law relating to diseases of animals. It was originally laid before your Lordships House on 22nd July 1980, but it was then discovered that it contained an incorrect reference. Thus the order was withdrawn, corrected, and relaid. The order was considered by the Joint Committee on Consolidation Bills on 17th June and 1st July, and the Committee was satisfied that it is purely a consolidating measure. It therefore makes no changes of substance in the existing law, but brings it together in one order. My Lords, I beg to move.
§ Moved, That the draft order laid before the House on 13th April be approved.—(Lord Elton.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
