To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will consider allowing the export of live animals for to the EU for fattening and slaughter as part of the dynamic alignment provisions of the proposed sanitary and phytosanitary agreement with the EU.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will consider allowing the export of live animals for to the EU for fattening and slaughter as part of the dynamic alignment provisions of the proposed sanitary and phytosanitary agreement with the EU.
It is illegal to export livestock or horses for slaughter or fattening under the Animal Welfare (Livestock Exports) Act 2024. This Government understands the strong sentiment that led to legislation to ban live exports for slaughter and fattening.
This Government has agreed with the EU to establish a common Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) area, by way of an SPS Agreement. Negotiations with the EU are ongoing so it would not be appropriate to comment on the detailed content at this stage. Throughout discussions, this Government has been clear about the importance of being able to set high animal welfare standards.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of using GWP* alongside GWP100 to account for methane emissions from livestock, in order to reflect whether herd-level emissions are increasing, stable or declining over time.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of using GWP* alongside GWP100 to account for methane emissions from livestock, in order to reflect whether herd-level emissions are increasing, stable or declining over time.
Defra recognises the ongoing debate on how best to account for short-lived greenhouse gases such as methane. While GWP* can provide useful insights into methane's warming effects, it is not currently considered a suitable replacement for conventional emissions reporting metrics in agriculture. The GWP* concept of "no additional warming" risks implying that continued methane emissions are environmentally neutral and may weaken incentives for emissions reductions. GWP100 remains the internationally agreed metric for greenhouse gas reporting. The UK will continue to engage in international discussions and monitor emerging evidence, guided by the best available science and international consensus.
Lords question for short debate on what assessment they have made of the impact of economic uncertainty, regulatory change, and environmental pressures on the mental health of those working in agriculture.

Local councils already have powers to apply local controls to restrict or ban the use of sky lanterns (including Chinese lanterns) on council or public land or issue a fixed penalty notice for littering.
Voluntary initiatives aimed at minimising the risks associated with sky lanterns also exist, including the Code of Practice for sky lanterns developed by industry to ensure that they are manufactured to be safe and are sold responsibly.
