Animal Welfare Bill

I am grateful to the Minister for responding so fully to these opening amendments. It was important that we sought clarification on them. Her explanation was very full, so I will need to read what she said. I should have said that Amendment No. 35 was a probing amendment. I was trying to establish exactly what the Government view as being the sort of place in which an animal fight would take place. They take place in different places: fields, barns or anywhere. We raised that amendment in case one had a barn that was used for a fight. I assume that nine-tenths of the barn would be used for ordinary farming practices. I am afraid I do not have great knowledge of bull pits, but I understand that they can be erected fairly quickly and easily. We were trying to define the thinking of the Government on that.
