Defra is continuing to build the evidence base on the fur sector. This includes commissioning our expert Animal Welfare Committee on what constitutes responsible sourcing of fur. The report that they produce will support our understanding of the fur industry and help inform our next steps.

In accordance with parliamentary convention, the Government will set out its formal position on this Bill when it receives its Second Reading.
