Proceeding contribution from Lady Saltoun of Abernethy (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 27 February 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill.

Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill

I am not sure whether this is the right moment to raise this, but when I was listening to the noble Duke moving the amendment I glanced at Clause 43(1), and I think that I have found a misspelling:"““A person is guilty of an offence if he has in his possession a pesticide containing an ingredient that is prescribed for the purposes of this section by an order made by the Secretary of State””." Do the Government mean ““prescribed”” as in what a doctor does when he prescribes medicine for you, or do they mean ““proscribed””—which I think is what it ought to be—which is when you forbid the use of something?
