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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of re-joining the EU pet passport scheme.

The Government will seek to negotiate a veterinary/Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) agreement to deliver benefits to businesses and consumers in the UK and the EU. It is too early to provide an update on specific elements of any agreement at this point, including on pet travel.
