Animal Welfare Bill

I have an amendment in this grouping. It is purely a probing amendment, because one of the most emotional of the very interesting debates which we have had today was about tail-docking. I tried to understand the protracted wording in the Bill. If I understand it correctly—perhaps the Minister will confirm it—a certified working dog can be docked and be shown simply for the purpose of demonstrating its ability to work, and not for any other purpose. Is that what the Government are trying to get at? Does that mean a dog that has been legally docked cannot be shown for any other purpose than to show his working ability? What is the rationale for that?
