Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Bill

In the presence of my hon. Friend, I am never uncomfortable. Having formerly worked in his constituency, it is always a delight to intervene on him. I hope that he will agree that leaving the European Union is much more significant in terms of animal welfare than we may all give it credit. We are escaping the common agricultural policy and the common fisheries policy, and some of the awful rules that have demanded that we have free movement of live animals across the

channel. I look forward very much, and I hope that he does too, to supporting the Government to ensure that that comes to an end.
