Animal Welfare Bill

I did think about the issue of circumcision, because I received what I can only describe as racist and abusive letters from people who wrote to me about my stance on tail docking, having assumed on the basis of my surname that I was Jewish. The hon. Gentleman cannot draw that analogy, because the Bill excludes humans. An amendment that the hon. Member for Leominster (Bill Wiggin) tabled in Committee would have included humans, as well as all crustaceans.
