Asked by: Jamie Wallis (Conservative - Bridgend)

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

What steps he is taking to progress the Red Meat Levy Redistribution Scheme.

Answered by Victoria Prentis - Attorney General

The Red Meat Levy Redistribution Scheme came into operation on 1 April 2021. It enables the transfer of levy, collected at slaughter, between the English, Scottish and Welsh levy bodies. This will recognise that in some cases, animals have spent some of their life and gained some of their value in another part of Great Britain. The levy will be apportioned on how long animals have spent in each country.
