Proceeding contribution from Duke of Montrose (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 7 March 2007. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Docking of Working Dogs’ Tails (England) Regulations 2007.


Docking of Working Dogs’ Tails (England) Regulations 2007

The noble Countess, Lady Mar, read out quite a number of examples of where she thought there was faulty drafting. I am not sure that I can follow her worry about people getting a friendly policeman to certify a dog, because the regulations state, "““where the dog is presented for certification on behalf of a police authority, police identification””." All these clauses refer directly to the official body that has to present the animal. There may be other points that she was not happy with.
