Thank you for contacting me about the Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill. I take a particularly keen interest in this bill as I sit on the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee and have previously worked in the agricultural sector.
Thank you for contacting me about the Electoral Commission.
As you may be aware, the Electoral Commission has sought in recent years to bring criminal offences before the courts. This is not a role that has ever been agreed by the Government or by Parliament.
