Animals Act 1971 (Amendment) Bill

I am not sure that I follow my hon. Friend's point, or that anyone else does either, but I think that I understand what he is getting at. There is little doubt, as we saw from the Library briefing for today's debate, that the insurance industry is getting a lot tougher, certainly with those who keep animals for commercial purposes, particularly horse riding establishments, who are expected to conduct proper risk assessments and keep proper records, which is a good thing, and to comply with the licensing regulations rather more effectively than they had been doing. That was referred to in the article by the learned QC whose name escapes me who I referred to earlier.
