Baroness Hayman of Ullock (Lab)
I would imagine that is probably an education piece.
Lord Roborough (Con)
My Lords, will the Minister confirm what specific criteria or evidence the Government are using to determine which activities abroad will be considered low welfare under the forthcoming regulations?
Baroness Hayman of Ullock (Lab)
I am determined to look at what makes the biggest difference. The whole essence of my approach to animal welfare is what makes the biggest difference, where are the most animals suffering abuse, and what can we do to try to reduce that. Those are the criteria we are looking at.
