Written question asked by Lord Jones of Cheltenham (Liberal Democrat) on Wednesday, 20 October 1999, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 10 November 1999. It was answered by Baroness Quin (Labour) on Wednesday, 10 November 1999 on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.

Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food

Question: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, if the pet travel scheme to be introduced next year will apply to the Channel Islands.

Answer: Mr. Nigel Jones: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if the pet travel scheme to be introduced next year will apply to the Channel Islands. [95655] Ms Quin: There are already no controls on the movement of pet animals between the Channel Islands and Great Britain. We have no plans to introduce any. The Channel Islands have their own quarantine regulations. Whether the Channel Island authorities introduce a pet travel scheme for animals entering the islands direct from abroad is therefore a matter for those authorities.
