Lord Gardiner of Kimble
My Lords, my noble friend has remarked on another very important point. Under these proposals we will seek to improve the ability of local authorities to, as I said, root out the bad. We want to train and work with local authorities so that they have the experience to ensure that, when they license an establishment, they are confident that it adheres to the high animal welfare standards that we all desire.
The Lord Bishop of Chester
Do the Government have any concerns about the breeding of those Members of your Lordships’ House who wear dog collars?
