Rural Affairs and Islands Committee

Petition

Meeting date: 20 March 2024

Okay. Will you give us an idea of what your kennels are like? It is quite difficult to think how you keep 40 dogs. Can you explain to us how the kennels are set out physically and what sort of regulations you need to abide by to be able to race on GBGB tracks?

When you go and race, how many dogs do you normally take, and how do you transport them?

You said that you go above and beyond the GBGB’s requirements on animal welfare. The Scottish Animal Welfare Commission has suggested that Scotland should have a scheme that would be independent of the GBGB, and the Scottish Government has recently consulted on licensing. What are your views on having such an additional licensing scheme in Scotland, for tracks and, in your cases, for kennels?

I am going to move on to questions from Rhoda Grant on retirement—but not her retirement.

Good morning, and welcome to the ninth meeting in 2024 of the Rural Affairs and Islands Committee. I ask everyone to switch their electronic devices to silent.

We begin with consideration of an affirmative Scottish statutory instrument. I welcome Lorna Slater, the Minister for Green Skills, Circular Economy and Biodiversity, and her officials: John Speirs, senior policy adviser, and Emily Williams Boylston, a solicitor from the Scottish Government.

I invite the minister to make an opening statement.

As no member wishes to debate the motion, is the committee content to recommend approval of the instrument?

Members indicated agreement.

That completes our consideration of the instrument. I thank the minister and her officials for attending. I will suspend the meeting briefly to allow a changeover of witnesses.

You did not have any involvement with Shawfield. Did you say that you have raced at the Newcastle and Sunderland tracks?
