Thank you, Presiding Officer. It's my pleasure to move the amendments in group 2 standing in my name, and I hope they'll find support in the Assembly, but, again, I don't think I'll have much luck there, to be honest, but there you go, it's worth a try, because it is an important area. It is about powers of inspection and the person who will be delegated to undertake that inspection. At the moment, the Bill is not clear exactly who would do that, and these amendments merely seek to tidy that piece of legislation up so that it would either have to be a veterinary surgeon or a suitably qualified individual.

It was a fair criticism in the evidence session and also the Stage 2 proceedings of the committee that the Minister did point out that, actually, in that amendment at that time, we were very prescriptive in saying it should be specifically just a veterinary surgeon. This time, we've broadened the amendment to say a suitably qualified person.

I think many of us, in our roles as politicians, have always sat in the middle of disputes and looked for expert opinions and expert advice. Well, in fairness, you cannot get a more expert opinion in this particular field of inspection than a veterinary surgeon or a suitably qualified person with a similar qualification to a veterinary surgeon. Surely, as politicians, we should be trying to take out the conflict in any piece of legislation, and, hopefully, have a successful resolution where that area might be in dispute.

So, this series of amendments seeks to do that, and I hope very much that the Welsh Parliament will endorse the amendments that are standing in my name, and, hopefully, have a far stronger piece of legislation that actually can get the dispute process in better order, should these powers be required—powers of entry and powers of inspection. So I hope that the Parliament will support the amendments standing in my name this afternoon.
