This will enable courts to take a firmer approach to cases such as dog fighting, abuse of puppies and kittens, or gross neglect of farm animals. The Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Bill was introduced into the House of Commons by Chris Loder MP on 5 February and Committee stage took place on 3 February. The Government will continue to support it as it makes its way through Parliament.</p> answering member printed Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park question first answered 08/02/2021 16:48:10 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park
