Proceeding contribution from Theresa Villiers (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 May 2023. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Animal Welfare.


Animal Welfare

I have campaigned for more than two decades for an end to the live export of animals for slaughter, so I have to say I do feel a sense of frustration and disappointment that the kept animals Bill is not going to come back to Parliament. I really appeal to the Minister and the wider Government to bring us a new Bill. Let us get on with this, and let us ban this cruel trade.
