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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what her planned timetable is for bringing forward legislative proposals for each of the commitments previously set out in the Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill.

We will be taking forward measures in the Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill individually through other means during the remainder of this Parliament. Parliamentary business will be announced in the usual way. We have also launched a consultation on primate keeping standards and will bring legislation forward later this year to deliver the ban on the keeping of primates as pets.
