Animal Welfare Bill

Proceeding contribution from Bob Spink (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Animal Welfare Bill.
The hon. Lady is being very generous in giving way. Will she be generous enough to acknowledge that many circus proprietors do stable and transport their animals in a decent manner? Indeed, it would not be in their interests to do otherwise, because the animals would be unable to perform and entertain the many people, including children, that they do. I believe that 18 per cent. of people visited a circus in this country in 2000. Will the hon. Lady give the House a list of the animals that would be allowed or proscribed under subsection (2) of her new clause?
