Dogs: Animal Breeding

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what steps he has taken to work with devolved Administrations to tackle the issue of puppy farming in Northern Ireland.

Answer

The Government is fully committed to animal welfare. However, this is a transferred matter in Northern Ireland, and so it is for the newly restored Executive to determine how to protect animal welfare, including tackling poor breeding practices as seen in puppy farming.
