To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the number of ivory products commercially traded within the UK each year since 2015.

The Government’s consultation on proposals to ban UK sales of ivory asked for evidence on the value, or number, of sales of items containing ivory in the UK. The response was published on the Defra website on 3 April 2018 and is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/banning-uk-sales-of-ivory
