Proceeding contribution from Norman Baker (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Animal Welfare Bill.
Animal Welfare Bill
I hope that history will look on us and see that we have shown some interest in animals, which is a good thing for the House to do. I put it to the hon. Gentleman that it is perfectly proper, as he says, to consider bans a last resort, which is a view I share, but must he not balance the right of individuals to do what they wish with the consequence for the animals? If he believes that the consequence for the animals is harmless, fair enough, but he must weigh those two together.
