Members of the House of Lords completed their detailed scrutiny of the Animal Welfare (Livestock Exports) Bill, in committee stage on Thursday 14th March.
The Animal Welfare (Livestock Exports) Bill seeks to end the export of certain animals for fattening and slaughter from and through England, Wales, and Scotland.
Starting from the front of the bill, members work through the clauses in order, considering changes (amendments) to the wording or proposals for new clauses.
Proposed changes
Having worked through the clauses in order, members speaking at committee stage then put forward amendments to the bill on subjects including extending the list of relevant livestock and reviewing the impact of the Act once passed, including the number of livestock imported to Great Britain and the welfare standards of those livestock.
