On 20 June 2023 we launched a consultation on the proposed licensing scheme for private primate keepers in England and the draft standards for care and management of primates. We will be taking forward other measures in the Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill individually through other means during the remainder of this Parliament. This will be a combination of legislative and non-legislative approaches where appropriate. Parliamentary business will be announced in the usual way.
