Animal Welfare (Exports)

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

Always a friend of the farmers on this subject.

We heard about the very distressing case of the lorry that was on its way to Ramsgate. It was stopped because of a suspected traffic offence. It seems extraordinary that regulations do not allow many more lorries to be stopped to ensure that the dreadful conditions in which those animals were being carried are not repeated in other vehicles.
