Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what plans his Department has for implementing a ban on the export of live animals for slaughter.
This question was answered on 5th November 2021
The Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill, which received its Second Reading in the House of Commons on 25 October, will ban live exports of livestock and equines for slaughter and fattening from Great Britain. We plan to adapt the existing journey log approval system and will be engaging with industry on the implementation of the ban before introducing regulations.
