Proceeding contribution from Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 24 May 2006. It occurred during Committee proceeding and Debate on bill on Animal Welfare Bill.


Animal Welfare Bill

I speak without advice. I take the noble Baroness’s point that many premises can be used or put up temporarily for this purpose. I understand from conversations in the north of England that there are buildings that have cockpits specifically designed for cockfighting. I see that a Member of the Committee could ask whether this would be the sort of thing one might find in a garage by looking at the underside of a vehicle. If there is anything I can add to help the noble Baroness, I shall write to her.
