Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 10 June 2025 to Question 57744 on Meat: Smuggling, how much illegally imported meat has been seized between the period of 1 January 2026 and 20 May 2026.
While it was possible to provide seizure volumes made under Defra's African Swine Fever Programme, this has now ended and assured data is not available. Defra is currently reviewing how it collects and uses the seizure data recorded by its operational partners.
