Animal Welfare: Public Consultation
Asked by: Lord Trees (Crossbench - Life peer) Thursday 14th March 2024 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask His Majesty's Government what is their timetable for consulting on activity regulations under the Animals (Low-Welfare Activities Abroad) Act 2023. Answered by Lord Douglas-Miller The Animals (Low-Welfare Activities Abroad) Act 2023 provides a framework for the introduction of future bans on the advertising and offering for sale, in England and Northern Ireland, of low-welfare animal activities abroad.
Future decisions on which specific animal activities will fall in scope of the advertising ban will be evidence-based and subject to Parliamentary scrutiny. Sufficient, compelling evidence will be required to demonstrate why any specific advertising ban is needed.
This Government continues to make animal welfare a priority and we are currently exploring a number of options to ensure progress as soon as is practicable. |

6 Mar 2024
Methane Environment and Climate Change Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions The inquiry on Methane is to examine whether the UK is on track to achieve the target set out by the Global Methane Pledge, of which it is a signatory. The inquiry aims to understand the progress the UK has made in reducing domestic methane emissions across sectors including fuel supply, agriculture, and waste management. The inquiry will also explore the UK’s methane emissions in an international context and explore what UK actions on methane reduction will have greatest impact. The inquiry will examine how methane emissions are measured and monitored, and what impact reducing methane emissions will have on the climate. |
