Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether she plans to bring forward the Government's proposed Animals Abroad Bill to Parliament.

The Government is focused on delivering our ambitious animal welfare agenda. Instead of bringing forward a multi-issue Animals Abroad Bill, we will continue to support legislation for individual reforms. The Government is pleased to continue to support the passage of a series of Private Members Bills delivering important reforms regarding the importation of detached shark fins and hunting trophies as well as banning the advertising and offering for sale here of unacceptably low welfare animal experiences abroad.
