Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs – in the Senedd at 1:32 pm on 20 September 2017.
Cabinet Secretary, as you know, I’m also a supporter of introducing an animal abuse register, and I look forward to hearing more about its development as it happens. Of course, one of the biggest obstacles facing the register will be determining whether youth offenders will be registered, and perhaps you could tell us what the Welsh Government’s initial position is on this issue. As I’m sure you’ll agree, the register must have a constructive and not a destructive impact on youth offenders, many of whom can be vulnerable young people.
