Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many (a) pheasants and (b) partridges were imported for shooting in 2024.
See the below table showing the number of Partridges and Pheasants imported into Great Britain in 2024. We cannot confirm whether the purpose of these imports was for hunting, as this is not recorded on the Import of products, animals, food and feed (IPAFF) system.
Species | Number of animals |
Partridges | 455,194 |
Pheasants | 487,488 |
Total | 942,682 |
This information is drawn from external IPAFF systems not directly controlled by the department.
