Environment and Climate Change Committee House of Lords

00:04 - 01:16
Speaker 1
Good morning and welcome to the Lords Committee on the Environment and Climate Change.  Today is the second session of our inquiry into pet parasite medications and we'll look at the issue from the perspective of the veterinarians.  Before we start, may I remind everyone that the session will be webcast live on Parliament TV and that a transcript will be taken and made public.  Witnesses will have an opportunity to review the transcript and if necessary make very minor amendments.  And members are reminded that they should declare any relevant interests the first time they speak and that also applies to our witnesses. 

And I'll just take the opportunity here to say that I am a director of Peers for the Planet.  So, let me start by thanking our witnesses.  We are very appreciative of the time that you've taken to be with us this morning and could I ask if each of you could say a line of introduction.  May I start with Dr Mullineaux. 
01:17 - 01:47
Speaker 2
Yeah, good morning and thanks for the opportunity to be here. 

My name's Dr Liz Mullineaux.  I'm Senior Vice President of the British Veterinary Association.  And the BVA officer with responsibility for small animal products in particular.  By trade, I'm a GP vet, so I've spent over 30 years in general practice, mixed and then small animal.  But I'm also a recognised specialist in British wildlife medicine as well.
