Animal Welfare Legislation

EDM number 634 in 2004-05, proposed by James Paice on 01/02/2005.

That this House believes that existing animal welfare legislation fails to provide animals with an appropriate level of protection from neglect and cruelty and is in urgent need of updating; supports the creation of a welfare offence as proposed in the draft Animal Welfare Bill but considers that such an important Bill and the proposed powers contained therein demand proper legislative scrutiny and parliamentary time in order that the opportunity to improve animal welfare is not missed; and regrets that the Government has failed to introduced the Bill in time for this to take place before a possible election in May.

This motion has been signed by a total of 62 MPs.
