He said the charity should continue investigating animal welfare issues but they should, like the police, hand the evidence over to the "dispassionate" Crown Prosecution Service. Some MPs called for more oversight of the RSPCA's prosecution arm. However, the Government admitted it has no control over the RSPCA because the charity has no official prosecuting role and the hunting lawsuits are brought privately. Simon Hart, a Tory MP for Carmathen and West Pembrokeshire, said the charity's prosecuting role needs to be monitored given its "political and commercial activities." He said there is a "gulf between the very good activity of inspectors on the ground whose principal concern is animal welfare" and the leadership whose principal concern seems to be "animal rights" Glyn Davies, a Conservative MP for Montgomeryshire, said the RSPCA is likely to lose support for deviating from its core role. In my mind the RSPCA was always an animal welfare body, that's how I always saw it. But I must admit I'm finding it more to be an animal rights body. He added: "I want my RSPCA back." A raft of Labour MPs and Caroline Lucas, former leader of the Green Party, defended the RSPCA as no public body has the expertise or resources to carry out the work the charity currently does. " (Are they) saying all lawbreakers should be prosecuted unless they are rich, powerful and Tory?" he said. The Government said there could be no official control over the RSCPA by legal inspectors as the charity has "no special role as a prosecutor."
