Proceeding contribution from Norman Baker (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Animal Welfare Bill.

Animal Welfare Bill

I want to pick the hon. Gentleman up on his point about the RSPCA. As I understand it, the organisation has been given no new powers under the Bill. Indeed, its representatives have told me specifically that they do not want any. In those circumstances, what is the problem with the way in which the organisation is operating, given that its welfare advocacy and prosecution roles appear to have been working quite well recently?
