The final new petition—we also have current petitions to consider—is PE1230, from Dr Colin Shedden, on behalf of the British Association for Shooting and Conservation, the Scottish Countryside Alliance, the Scottish Gamekeepers Association and the Scottish Rural Property and Business Association. The petition calls on the Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to amend the Prohibited Procedures on Protected Animals (Exemptions) (Scotland) Regulations 2007 (SSI 2007/256) to allow prophylactic tail docking of working dogs under tightly specified circumstances. PE1196, on the same issue, is to be considered later in the meeting. We may wish to discuss both petitions collectively. Do members agree to delay the discussion until that item?Members indicated agreement.
