Proceeding contribution from Eric Martlew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 November 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Animal Welfare Bill.
Animal Welfare Bill
My concern is that the amendment could drive a coach and horses through the provisions in the Bill. If my hon. Friend recalls the position, vets should not—ethically speaking—be docking tails, but some are doing so. My fear is that those vets who are prepared to dock tails will accept any dog as falling within the definition.
