Mary Glindon
Shadow Minister (Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) (Farming and Rural Communities)
If he will bring forward legislative proposals to recognise animal sentience.
David Rutley
Assistant Whip (HM Treasury), The Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury
There has never been any question that this Government’s policies on animal welfare are driven by the fact that animals are sentient beings. However, the Government has been very clear that we will make any necessary changes required to UK law in a rigorous and comprehensive way to ensure animal sentience is recognised after we leave the EU.
