Rural Affairs and Islands Committee
Petition
Meeting date: 22 May 2024
Finlay Carson
Thank you. To go back to my original question, how do you think the existing animal welfare legislation protects racing greyhounds in Scotland, from birth right through to retirement?

I suppose that it is really a political decision in relation to the level of suffering. The minister is satisfied that the current legislation covers those situations. The minister touched on concerns in relation to Thornton, which are probably not relevant here. We are not talking about specific tracks; we are talking about greyhound racing in general. I will bring in Emma Roddick for a supplementary question.

Amendment 74, in the name of Ariane Burgess, is grouped with amendments 170, 75, 78, 79 and 173 to 182. I remind members that, if amendment 12 is agreed to, I cannot call amendment 179 due to pre-emption.

Just in case there is any confusion in the future regarding groupings, Ariane Burgess’s suggestion that the groupings are wrong is, in fact, not correct. The list of groupings shows the order in which amendments will be debated, not the order in which they will be disposed of. I therefore have confidence that the decisions taken earlier were correct.
The question is, that amendment 140 be agreed to. Are we agreed?
Members: Yes.
