Proceeding contribution from Earl of Onslow (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 believe that a very large percentage of greyhounds are bred in Ireland—and I am sure that the noble Lord, Lord Lipsey, will nod and say whether that is right. How would our regulation overlap in that sense? It is obviously a problem, when one is being asked to judge whether we should do this by self-regulation and ensure that the self-regulation is properly done or by government regulation. I am always inclined to go for self-regulation, but I am open to persuasion either way.
