Welfare of Animals at the Time of Killing (England and Northern
Ireland) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019
Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (Amendment)
(Northern Ireland) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2019
That the Regulations laid before the House on 7 October be
approved.
Relevant document: 2nd Report
from the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny
Committee. Considered
in Grand Committee on 30 October.
My Lords, following the very quick passing of the remaining
stages of the Historical Institutional Abuse (Northern
Ireland) Bill last Thursday evening, does the Chief Whip
any information on when it will receive Royal Assent, and
does the Commons have, as I gather is the case, broad
support to pass it in a similarly expeditious fashion?
My Lords, as the noble Lord said, following his amendment,
last Thursday this House completed all the stages of the
Bill in record time and sent it to the House of Commons.
The scheduling of the Bill is now a matter for the other
place. As noble Lords know, the other place is electing a
new Speaker today, but I know that the representations made
by the noble Lord, and indeed by the Minister in this
place, have been heard by the other place. I am not able to
say whether the other place has decided to deal with it
tomorrow, and I am not sure that that House would have been
able to announce it. However, I can assure him that the
powers that be are aware that we have passed the Bill in
this House.
