Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs – in the Senedd at 1:30 pm on 20 September 2017.
Thank you for that update. You said in your response that it was the RSPCA’s task and finish group. I just wanted to confirm whether you are going to be including other organisations on this task and finish group, and taking evidence from those involved in the area who have been working—with no intention to undermine the RSPCA, but a number of groups have been lobbying for this animal abuse register. Would you include them as part of this discussion?
I see that the Welsh Government is looking into a domestic register. Are you going to discuss these two things together? Because you will recall from previous questions from me, these themes do crosscut and, therefore, I would’ve thought it would’ve been an idea for you to take joint action here, rather than working in separation.
