Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of livestock theft in England.
According to the 2017 Commercial Victimisation Survey (CVS), 2 per cent of premises in the Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing sector premises located in England and Wales had experienced livestock theft in the previous 12 months, a similar level found to that in the 2013 CVS (4 per cent).
