Pets: Travel

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when his Department plans to publish its response to the findings of the Commercial and Non-Commercial Movements of Pets into Great Britain consultation.

Answer

In August 2021, the Government launched an eight-week consultation on our proposed restrictions to the commercial and non-commercial movement of pets into Great Britain. We are currently analysing the responses to the consultation and will publish a summary in due course. This will allow us to take on board the views of the public and interested groups on puppy smuggling and low welfare imports in order to shape our future policy.
