Proceeding contribution from Ben Bradshaw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Animal Welfare Bill.

Animal Welfare Bill

I point out to the hon. Gentleman and others who have suggested that a possible solution may be to ban the showing of dogs with docked tails without banning the docking of tails, that that would be extremely difficult to achieve. Can he imagine the Kennel Club acceding to a situation in which docking was not banned, but showing docked dogs was banned? It simply would not work.
