That this House notes proposals for the creation of a Animal Protection Disclosure Scheme also known as Holly’s Law; further notes that this scheme could potentially reduce the number of repeated prosecutions against those who abuse animals and people as well as protect animals and people from potential harm and neglect; and calls upon the Secretary of State to bring forward regulations providing guidance for police on the exercise of their rights of disclosure, known as the right to know, under such a scheme.
