Proceeding contribution from Caroline Lucas (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 December 2017. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on European Union (Withdrawal) Bill.
European Union (Withdrawal) Bill
I am pleased to see the change on animal sentience, but to correct the hon. Member for Richmond Park (Zac Goldsmith), the debate a few
weeks ago was about whether we needed new legislation to provide for animal sentience when we left the EU. The Minister stood at the Dispatch Box and said that we did not need new legislation as it was already covered by existing UK domestic legislation. So I am pleased to see a screeching U-turn, but let us not pretend that it was not a screeching U-turn.
