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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what progress he has made in introducing a ban on imports of hunting trophies to the UK.

The Secretary of State has regular discussions with Cabinet colleagues about a range of issues, including delivering the Government’s manifesto commitment to ban the import of hunting trophies from endangered animals.

We have pledged to bring forward legislation to ban imports of hunting trophies from thousands of species. This ban will be among the strongest in the world, leading the way in protecting endangered animals. We intend to bring this forward as soon as parliamentary time allows.
