Proceeding contribution from Lord Kimball (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 should declare an interest as the deputy president of the Countryside Alliance. I shall declare an interest also as the first chairman of the British Greyhound Racing Fund when we come to consider those matters. This amendment is quite unnecessary. Defra is already drawing up a code which covers the rearing of game birds. It will take advice from the Game Conservancy Trust. I have great confidence that it will come up with the right answer. However, this amendment is quite unnecessary and comes at the wrong time. It will make it harder for Defra to come up with the right solution.
