SCAS welcomes parliamentary support for Pets for Life campaign

SCAS received a welcome boost of support on Friday 5 March, when Nigel Waterson MP presented to the House of Commons the Second Reading of his Private Member's Bill to increase the number of residential care and sheltered housing providers which allow pets to live with their owners. The bill was passed unanimously, reflecting the strong cross-party support for this issue and SCAS will provide updates on activity, via this website.

As Shadow Minister for Older People, Nigel Waterson MP explains: "The UK needs to adopt a more enlightened and responsible policy towards increasing the number of care homes and sheltered housing accommodation which allow pets in residence. The current practice is totally unacceptable in a civilised country and we should follow the example of countries, such as France and the USA, who have passed legislation aimed at allowing people to keep their beloved pets."
