A new framework document was published in May 2025 and sets out the strategic relationship between Defra, the Devolved Governments, and British Wool. The Framework establishes clear governance arrangements and shared priorities, ensuring British Wool is well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of the sector. The framework document was informed by a review of British Wool’s operations, including its structure and market position, conducted jointly by Defra and Devolved Governments, this was published on 15 March 2023.
While the Department is not currently undertaking a separate assessment of British Wool’s effectiveness in supporting farmer incomes, the Framework Document provides a foundation for ongoing collaboration and performance monitoring. Defra remains committed to working with British Wool and industry stakeholders to ensure the organisation continues to deliver value to sheep farmers and contributes to the long-term sustainability of the wool sector.

Defra does not regularly collect or monitor information on sales or uses of wool; this is managed by British Wool.
British Wool publishes its annual accounts and financial statements on its website, which include information on its operational activities, including any overseas expenditure. These documents are publicly accessible and provide transparency on the organisation’s use of funds.

British Wool is not an Arm’s-Length Body, it is a public corporation. As such, it is not eligible to access the full range of coronavirus support provided to private businesses.
However, sheep farmers remain eligible for a number of the business support schemes the Government has launched. These include the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan, Bounce Back Loans, Small Business Grant Funding and the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.
Full details of the unprecedented support the Government has made available to businesses can be accessed on GOV.UK at https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus/business-support.
