Animal Welfare (Exports)

Proceeding contribution from Lyn Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 December 2012. It occurred during Backbench debate on Animal Welfare (Exports).

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman. I listened intently to the points he made. I did not agree with some of them, but as his speech came across as a confessional, I felt I should not intervene until now. Does he agree that what happened at Ramsgate—some 40 sheep died—is unlikely to be an isolated incident? We need a proper review into the transportation of

animals, and an inspection regime must be put in place. Does he agree, and will he call for a proper review by the Government, not a narrow internal one?
