Proceeding contribution from Andrew Dismore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 5 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Care Homes and Sheltered Accommodation (Domestic Pets) Bill.


Care Homes and Sheltered Accommodation (Domestic Pets) Bill

I greatly support the aims of the hon. Gentleman's Bill. Does he know what proportion of care homes have banned pets? I certainly agree with him about the importance of the matter, having recently visited a home in my constituency. An animal is not just good for the owner but becomes adopted by the care home as a whole and provides support and comfort for all the residents.
