Animal Welfare (Kept Animals)

Debate between Trudy Harrison and James Wild

Wednesday 21st June 2023 Commons Chamber

[Trudy Harrison]

We are also taking forward measures to make it an offence to abduct a much-loved pet.

[James Wild]

Will my hon. Friend give way?

[Trudy Harrison]

This Government share the public’s concern for the welfare of animals. That is why we have delivered an unprecedented package of welfare improvements since 2010. We remain steadfast in our focus on making good on those manifesto commitments, which mean so much to the British people.

[James Wild]

Will my hon. Friend give way? [Laughter.]

[Trudy Harrison]

That will remain our policy in this Parliament and beyond.
