I will be brief. The Member may consider that Mr Buckley made a good intervention, but it was an inaccurate one. I will explain why. If he looks at page 4, which sets out new article 23G, he will see, from 2(a) onwards, a number of references to a "pack" of dogs.
If we are going to question that, let us at least read the Bill, and let us at least be accurate. Packs of dogs are mentioned in the Bill three or four times, on two pages, from new article 23G onwards.
