I am grateful to Mr Butler for giving way. If it helps, I can point out, in response to the intervention made to Mr Butler, that, where someone is going out and shooting, as referenced by Mr Frew, they are not subject to the Bill, because they are shooting and not using dogs to kill a wild mammal. It is as clear as that, as is the case in other jurisdictions. I will say more on it later, but, for clarification, that sets it out.
