Environment and Climate Change Committee Actual start House of Lords

14:52 - 16:01
Speaker 1
Good morning and welcome to the Lords Committee on the Environment and Climate Change.  Today we will be continuing with our inquiry into pet parasite medications, hearing from representatives of the pet health industry.  Before we start, may I remind everyone that the session will be webcast live 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.  Members are reminded that they should declare any relevant interests the first time they speak, and I should stress that this applies equally to all witnesses.  I will take the opportunity here to say that I'm a director of Peers for the Planet.  So may I start by extending a very warm welcome to our panel of expert witnesses this morning, representatives from the pet health industry. 

May I ask each of you to briefly introduce yourselves, starting with Dr. Wright, then Dr. Murphy, then Dr. Skelly. 
16:01 - 16:18
Speaker 2
Thank you very much.  Thanks for the invite.  I'm Ian Wright.  I'm a veterinary practitioner, parasitologist, and researcher.  I work and co-own a practice in Fleetwood, beautiful idyllic town on the Lancashire coast.
