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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if his Department will publish the findings of its analysis of operations at Dover port in relation to the EU Pet Travel Regulations.

The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) are committed to tackling abuse of the EU Pet Travel Scheme. Observations of routine activities at port form part of this ongoing work.

Operational assessments conducted at Dover are not published, as this could compromise enforcement activities. However, key findings are routinely shared with relevant stakeholders, and also help inform policy decisions and will contribute to the UK’s future pet travel policy.
