It is my intention to publish the Animal Health and Welfare Bill this year. However, as the Deputy will be aware, the Bill is a large and complicated one and will require extensive work in conjunction with the Office of Parliamentary Counsel to complete the required legal drafting. Once a complete draft is available I intend to publish the Bill.
