As far as I can see, the amendment would not have any undesirable outcomes or be unduly burdensome on the Government to deliver. It is clear that children will play a huge part in ensuring that there is a change in our attitude towards buying pets. I will press the amendment, because it is important that reasonable steps are taken to ensure awareness and understanding of the code of practice among schoolchildren.
