Dog Licensing

Debate between Lord Renton of Mount Harry and Lord De Mauley

Tuesday 16th December 2014 Lords Chamber

[Lord De Mauley]

My noble friend is absolutely right.

[Lord Renton of Mount Harry (Con)]

Following on from what has just been said, may I say how delighted I am at what I have just heard the Minister say? It has always seemed to me that there are those who particularly need dogs and who love them dearly. They go out and buy food for them and take them to the vet; the dog is their regular company. I declare an interest; I have a lurcher who is five years old. If I fall asleep after lunch he always wakes me up precisely at 3.30 pm. That shows what a good dog does.
