Written question asked by Lord Hanningfield (Non-affiliated) on Tuesday, 21 May 2019, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 5 June 2019. It was answered by Lord Gardiner of Kimble (Conservative) on Wednesday, 5 June 2019 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.


Animal Welfare: Grants

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government what grants were made by the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to animal welfare groups in each of the last five years; to which groups they were made; and how much was provided in each grant.

Answer

The information requested is not held centrally and to obtain it would incur disproportionate costs.

As part of a government wide digital transparency self-service agenda, government grant data from the previous three years is available online through the Government Grants Information System (GGIS). Data for Defra is combined with data for Defra’s arms-length bodies. As we have no firm definition of what an animal welfare group is these grants would not be easily identifiable on the GGIS.
