Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps her Department is taking to prevent trophy hunters bringing hunt souvenirs into the United Kingdom through Northern Ireland.
Answered by Trudy Harrison
Strict controls on hunting trophy imports are already in place in Northern Ireland, with no permits issued since 2018.
In addition to these existing strict controls, we are continuing to explore whether there is scope for a further tightening of arrangements in Northern Ireland.
