Animal Welfare Bill

We are actually talking about only one circus that uses wild animals—the Great British Circus. The hon. Gentleman said that if the circus had to get rid of its animals they could go to a permanently sited circus, so I understood that his attack was on the use of such animals in travelling circuses. However, although new clause 10 refers to winter quarters, it would apply to the use of animals in all circuses, not just static ones. I am confused about the purpose of the hon. Gentleman’s new clause.
