Written Question
Cats and Dogs: Smuggling
Tuesday 23rd April 2024

Asked by: Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi (Labour - Slough)

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of resources allocated to enforcement agencies responsible for checking pets entering the UK to effectively counter puppy and kitten smuggling.

Answered by Mark Spencer - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

Defra regularly engages with enforcement agencies regarding tackling illegal pet smuggling and appropriate resourcing.

Local authorities and the Animal and Plant Health Agency are responsible for enforcing pet travel and commercial import requirements.

Authorised carriers and pet checkers have the delegated responsibility for conducting pet checks on non-commercial movements. They can refuse travel for non-compliant animals or share intelligence with the Animal and Plant Health Agency who can intercept at the port or border if non-compliance is suspected.
