Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Justin Madders and Tom Tugendhat

Monday 15th April 2024 Commons Chamber

[The Minister for Security (Tom Tugendhat)]

We will continue to make sure that the inspection regime is as strict as possible, to make sure that when animals need to be used, the conditions are as humane as possible.
