Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Spellar (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 23 October 2020. It occurred during Debate on bills on Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Bill.

Like others, I congratulate the hon. Member on bringing forward this very important Bill. He touches on something very important: the link between these crimes and other criminality. Should it not be reinforced by Government to police forces and prosecutors that those who break the law break the law and, therefore, there should be many more prosecutions, because in many cases, these people are also involved not only in other crime, but, actually, in cruelty, particularly to children and other human beings?
