Animals (Penalty Notices) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Greg Smith (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 4 February 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Animals (Penalty Notices) Bill.

My hon. Friend mentions farm animals. I do not know of any farmers who deliberately mistreat their animals, but sometimes false accusations are made against them. There is some concern in the farming community about the appeals process if they are given a penalty charge notice. Will he assure the House that there is a robust appeals process in his Bill?
