Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between David Rutley and Gregory Campbell

Thursday 17th January 2019 Commons Chamber

[Mr Gregory Campbell (East Londonderry) (DUP)]

Can the Minister lay to rest some of the vile scare stories that have been emanating in the past few months about how, in certain circumstances in which we may leave the EU, there will be a diminution in animal care standards? Can he confirm that whatever the circumstances after 29 March we will retain the highest possible standards?

[David Rutley]

The hon. Gentleman makes a good point, and I assure him that we will make sure the existing regulations come over and we will maintain those high standards.
