Ivory Bill: Analysis of Government on Report

Wednesday 4th July 2018 Written Statements

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (David Rutley)]

I have today published a written submission outlining the Government’s analysis of how the English votes for English laws principle relates to all Government amendments tabled for report stage of the Ivory Bill.

The Department’s assessment is that the amendments do not change the territorial application of the Bill.

The analysis holds if all the Government amendments be accepted. I have deposited a copy of the submission in the Libraries of both Houses.
