'An independent review'

That's what we have just had in relation to greyhound racing, which somehow comes under the aegis of Defra.

And who chaired this 'independent review'?

Lord Donoughue.

Might this be the same Lord Donoughue who 'In 1974...became senior policy adviser to the Prime Minister, and held this office until 1979'. And the Lord Donoughue who takes the Labour whip? And the Lord Donoughue who was 'Parliamentary Secretary (Farming and Food Industry), Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (5 May 1997 to 28 Jul 1999)'?

Yes, it is. The very same.

And Jeff Rooker and Gerry Sutcliffe variously 'hope that the industry will make a positive and swift response' and 'welcome the report'. Which is nice.
