Proceeding contribution from Baroness Fookes (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Animal Welfare Bill.

Animal Welfare Bill

My Lords, I, too, welcome the moderate amendment that has been proposed. It is moderate because, like the noble Lord, I am basically an abolitionist in this matter. I am concerned not only about training methods but especially about the stress caused through travelling, especially under difficult conditions. I very much hope that the Minister will look kindly on the amendment and that, if it is unacceptable, he will at least bring forward something very akin to it. I should have declared a non financial interest as a vice-president of the RSPCA, which slipped my mind—my apologies.
