Written question asked by Peter Bedford (Conservative) on Wednesday, 18 June 2025, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 25 June 2025 (named day). It was answered by Daniel Zeichner (Labour) on Wednesday, 25 June 2025 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.


Dogs: China

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether his Department holds data on dogs being transported to China for use as meat for human consumption.

Answer

APHA, Defra’s executive agency, has data on the number of commercial and non-commercial dogs exported to China. The system does not record the purpose of movement for commercial dogs and therefore does not hold data on dogs being exported to China for use as meat for human consumption.
