Recent appearances

  • Animal Welfare (Import of Dogs, Cats and Ferrets) Bill 15 Mar 2024

    Order. I am afraid that there was a lot of noise, so I did not hear exactly what the hon. Lady said, but, for the sake of clarity, we are discussing this Bill and only this Bill.
  • Animal Welfare (Import of Dogs, Cats and Ferrets) Bill 15 Mar 2024

    Order. The hon. Gentleman has not been here all morning, so perhaps he has not picked up that the Bill is narrow, and it does not include the subject that he has just raised. In this winding-up speech, it is necessary that we stick completely to the Bill. I know that he will understand.
  • Animal Welfare (Import of Dogs, Cats and Ferrets) Bill 15 Mar 2024

    Order. When the hon. Member for Brighton, Kemptown (Lloyd Russell-Moyle) intervened on the shadow Minister, I explained that we must stick to the narrow confines of this Bill. My ruling applied to the hon. Gentleman, so it obviously applies to the shadow Minister as well.
