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

To ask His Majesty's Government when they plan to publish the results of the call for evidence to the consultation on the fur market in Great Britain, which opened on 31 May 2021.

Ministers are reviewing policies, which will be announced in due course, including the consultation on the Fur Market in Great Britain. Defra is continuing to build the evidence base on the fur sector. This includes commissioning our expert Animal Welfare Committee on what constitutes responsible sourcing of fur. The report that they produce will support our understanding of the fur industry and help inform our next steps.

This Labour Government will introduce the most ambitious programme for animal welfare in a generation.
