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

To ask His Majesty's Government what additional pieces of animal welfare legislation they are planning to introduce, other than those pieces of legislation whose passage has already commenced.

As outlined in our 2021 Action Plan for Animal Welfare, the Government has an ambitious agenda for animal welfare and conservation reforms, which we plan to take forward during the current Parliamentary session and beyond. We will continue to introduce and support legislative and non-legislative reforms when we can. We will be taking forward measures from the Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill individually through other means during the remainder of this Parliament. These measures include three manifesto commitments, which we remain fully committed to delivering.
