Animals

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, if he will, in his negotiations to leave the EU, retain free movement of animals as (a) pets and (b) farm animals.

Answer

We continue to receive views across the range of the Department’s responsibilities following the outcome of the EU Referendum. Defra will be working on our future policies in this area, liaising closely with other key departments on future support for agriculture, animal welfare, and the food and drink industry. The Government will work with industry and the public to develop these new arrangements.
