Written Question

Furs

Tuesday 12th May 2020

Asked by: Olivia Blake (Labour - Sheffield Hallam)

Question to the Department for International Trade:

Whether she plans to bring forward legislative proposals to ban the (a) import and (b) sale of real fur products.

Answered by Graham Stuart

EU law currently prohibits imports of cat and dog fur and certain other animal products. Under the Withdrawal Act, these prohibitions will carry across after the end of the transition period. The Government is considering what further steps it could take in relation to fur sales, consistent with our international obligations.
