Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd – in the Senedd at 3:07 pm on 28 September 2022.
Yes. Thank you. You're quite right: local authorities do have the power to ban the practice of giving animals as prizes on their land. I'm not quite sure how many you thought out of the 22. I think it's five; I'm not quite sure if you said nine, but my understanding is it's five at the moment, but it may have increased and you may be correct. As I say, I have asked the Wales animal health and welfare framework group to consider this matter. I did ask—. It's probably about three years now, but you can imagine, with the COVID pandemic and everything that's happened, this had slipped down the agenda. But I know a paper looking at what we could do has now been issued to members, so, as soon as I have their views, I'll be very happy to update Members.
