Ministers accused of betrayal after animal welfare bill scrapped
A bill aimed at banning live animal exports and introducing powers to tackle puppy smuggling has been dropped by the government over fears it would be forced into a vote on hunting.
Environment Minister Mark Spencer said measures in the Kept Animal Bill would now be delivered in different ways.
He told MPs he had to scrap the bill because Labour were going "to play political games".
However, one animal charity has accused ministers of "an astonishing betrayal". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-65707540
