Liberal Democrat — Glastonbury and Somerton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 April 2025

Debate

Scientific and Regulatory Procedures: Use of Dogs

Contribution

I share a love of dogs with my hon. Friend, and I have a nearly 17-year-old terrier at home—slightly better looking than Frank, I might add. The level of public interest in this petition is vast—many of my constituents have spoken to me strongly about it—and that shows the strength of feeling on this issue. Does my hon. Friend agree that the transposition of the principle of animal sentience into British law is an essential step in ensuring that the UK retains the highest animal welfare standards in the future?
