Proceeding contribution from Duke of Montrose (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 thank the Minister for presenting the detail of the amendments. It is good that the amendments bring in safeguards and it is as well to have a reasonable power of appeal as it is impossible to know the exact circumstances which might arise in all cases. It was interesting that the Minister emphasised that the appeal under Amendment No. 30 was for the owner only, because in the previous clause the appeal was granted to such persons as appear to the authority to represent any interests. Altogether, the amendments provide a good deal of clarification.
