Animals: Imports
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many waivers were issued by the Animal and Plant Health Agency for animals being transferred to non-Balai approved premises in each of the last three years; and why a waiver was issued in each case.
- Answer
-
There have been only two cases in which a quarantine waiver has been issued for an animal moving into a non Balai approved premise in the past three years. In one case the risk assessment found that the animal had been vaccinated against rabies and deemed a negligible rabies risk. In the other case, the species being imported posed a negligible risk of transmission and so was also granted a waiver.
