Wild Animals (Circuses)

Proceeding contribution from Neil Parish (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 June 2011. It occurred during Backbench debate on Wild Animals (Circuses).
Perhaps I am being criticised for taking a pragmatic view on this. I want a ban and the only reason for the amendment was that the requirement in the motion that a ban would have to be in place in 12 months might not have settled the legal situation. We do not want to give the Government an excuse not to move towards a ban.
