The Earl of SelkirkMy Lords, the 13 amendments to the Animals (Scotland) Bill are all drafting amendments. One, I regret to say, is a grammatical amendment. They have the approval of the Scottish Law Commission. If it is the will of the House I shall move all 13 amendments in one Motion. I have, however, one typographical amendment in Amendment No. 2. The reference should be "in paragraph (b)" and not "in paragraph (6)" as appears on the Marshalled List. With that alteration, I beg to move Amendments Nos. 1 to 13 en bloc if that is the will of the House.
§ Moved, That this House do agree with the Commons in the said amendments.—(The Earl of Selkirk.)
§ Lord FerrierMy Lords, I am not quite clear about Amendment No. 4. Does not that amendment contain a typographical error: "leave out (i)"? It then carries on with (ii).
The Earl of SelkirkMy Lords, if it is merely a typographical error, it will be corrected in the ordinary course. I regret to say that if there is such an error I have not noticed it.
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
