Written Question
Hunting Trophy Import (Prohibition) Bill: Northern Ireland
Wednesday 5th April 2023

Asked by: Lord Weir of Ballyholme (Democratic Unionist Party - Life peer)

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

To ask His Majesty's Government why Northern Ireland has been excluded from the proposed provisions of the Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill, given that a number of EU countries such as France and the Netherlands have similar legislation; and what plans they have to amend the Bill to cover Northern Ireland.

Answered by Lord Benyon - Lord Chamberlain (HM Household)

The Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill currently going through Parliament will ban the import of hunting trophies to Great Britain from thousands of species.

Strict controls on hunting trophy imports are already in place in Northern Ireland.

No permits for importing hunting trophies to Northern Ireland have been issued in the past 5 years.

We are exploring whether current controls on imports of hunting trophies to Northern Ireland can be tightened.
