Proceeding contribution from Countess of Mar (Crossbench) 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

The noble Baroness talked about pet shop sales and pet sales but there has also been a fairly recent development in the sale of pedigree farm animals—sheep, cattle and pigs. With the closure of a lot of markets, this has been a wonderful facility because people can see the animals on the internet and buy them in that way. I should like to know whether that is to be regulated, as indeed the markets are.
