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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether she will publish legal advice she has received regarding implementation of a moratorium on imports of hunting trophies.

Legal advice to Ministers is subject to legal professional privilege, and maintaining its confidentiality is essential to ensure that Ministers can receive full and frank advice as part of effective decision-making. This Government remains committed to banning the import of hunting trophies from species of conservation concern and will bring forward legislation when Parliamentary time allows.
