- Question
- asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether they have plans to bring forward a new Veterinary Surgeons Bill.
- Answer
-
While there are some strong arguments for modernising the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966 (VSA), Defra has a wide-ranging agenda that it needs to take forward, both for animal health and welfare and our wider environmental objectives. We do not currently have a firm timetable for modernising the VSA but we will work with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and the wider veterinary profession to develop ideas for a new regulatory framework.
