Anne Main calls for a Parliamentary debate on the issue of fly-grazing and straying horses which has become a big problem that the RSPCA and police are struggling to deal with.

Mrs Anne Main (St Albans) (Con): May we have a debate or a statement next week about fly-grazing and straying horses? This problem is affecting many constituencies, and it has got significantly worse since the alterations to regulations in Wales. It is a big problem that the RSPCA and the police are struggling with.

Chris Grayling: I am very much aware of that issue. Many of our constituencies are affected by fly-grazing, and there are genuine animal welfare concerns about what is taking place. My hon. Friend is a seasoned requisitioner of Adjournment debates—she has one on Bangladesh next week—and I am sure that the subject she has raised is another on which she can continue with that.
