Baroness Hayman of Ullock (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 September 2025

Debate

Animals (Low-Welfare Activities Abroad) Act 2023

Contribution

I assume that the activities the noble Lord is referring to regarding zoos are high-welfare activities. As I said, we are looking at how best to bring legislation forward. For any activity to be exempt, there would need to be compelling, sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the activity was high welfare and therefore not to be constrained by any legislation coming forward. Part of the work in developing future legislation is considering how best to do that.
