Question
to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when the Government next plans to review compliance with the provisions of the Animal Welfare Act 2006.
Answered by David Rutley
Every year 800 to 1,000 people are successfully prosecuted for animal cruelty and poor welfare. The Government has announced that it will increase the maximum penalties for animal cruelty ten-fold from six months’ imprisonment to five years’ imprisonment. The EFRA Select Committee held inquiries into aspects of the Animal Welfare Act 2006 in 2010/11 and in 2016, and the Government currently has no immediate plans to further review compliance with the 2006 Act.

The European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) is known as Pillar 1 of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), composed of direct payments to farmers and market measures. In the UK, from 2007 to 2013, expenditure under the EAGF totalled €23 billion, which is around £17 billion in sterling at current exchange rates. These payments were made to eligible farmers all over the UK.
