Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 3:27 pm on 9 July 2019.
I've previously raised the visit of Circus Mondao to my constituency, which happened just a couple of months ago. I would say to Siân Gwenllian that I first got to know Linda Joyce-Jones when, as a county councillor, a wild animal exhibit visited my council ward. At that point, I wrote to Rebecca Evans, who was then the Minister responsible, and we had some dialogue about this. So, it's really good to see this legislation making it onto the statute book. That visit was by Thomas Chipperfield before I was elected here. They had their circus licence withdrawn in England because DEFRA were unhappy with the conditions in which some of their animals were being held, but they were still able to exhibit in Tir-y-berth. So, this will close that particular issue as well. We know that the circuses are in town because they are fly-posting. They have shown no adherence to fly-posting rules, so I wonder to what extent are they going to show adherence to this law. We've had two visits in the Caerphilly constituency, in Tir-y-berth. Can we have the assurance that this law will ensure that there won't be a third visit?
