Résumé

The Act requires the Secretary of State to establish and maintain a committee called the Animal Sentience Committee. When any government policy is being or has been formulated or implemented, the Animal Sentience Committee may produce a report containing its views on whether, or to what extent, the government is having, or has had, all due regard to the ways in which the policy might have an adverse effect on the welfare of animals. The report may also contain recommendations as to the steps the Committee considers the government should take.
