I thank the noble Lord for his question. I am not in a position to go into that level of detail right now, so I will write to him.

Can my noble friend the Minister tell us whether his department has done any analysis of the source of fur from animals? What I mean by that is when animals are killed for fur, what percentage are killed specifically for fur; what percentage are killed for something else, such as meat, and the fur is a by-product; and what percentage are killed to control an animal population?

I am not aware of any analysis on that, but I will look into it and take it back to the department.
