My Lords, further to an intervention made by the noble Lord, Lord Redesdale, earlier about the Dog Control Bill, I wish to place on record that my noble friend Lord Grantchester tabled an amendment, about which he had been in discussion with Defra. It was known that it would not be a wrecking amendment. I want to associate myself with the words of the Chief Whip that Committee stage of the Dog Control Bill was postponed due to the number of speakers in this important debate on the Bill put forward by the noble Lord, Lord Dholakia.
