While I will consider this suggestion, one must allow authorised officers to inspect. For example, in an emergency case in which a rapid inspection was necessary, not being legally allowed to go on-site unless one was accompanied by an appointed authorised officer from another organisation would be very limiting. While it will be difficult to accommodate this proposal, I will consider what is being proposed in the context of the provisions of the Welfare of Greyhounds Act.
