Furs: Reviews
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when the results of the Animal Welfare Committee's review of the responsible sourcing of fur will be published.
- Answer
-
Defra is continuing to build the evidence base on the fur sector. This includes commissioning our expert Animal Welfare Committee (AWC) to produce a report on what constitutes responsible sourcing of fur. This is due to be completed in 2025 and will be published on GOV.UK thereafter.
We are also aware that the European Food Safety Authority has published a report on the welfare of fur animals and are reviewing its findings.
