Baroness Hayman of Ullock (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 October 2025

Debate

Musical Instrument Certificates

Contribution

As I said in my initial Answer to my noble friend, we are currently consulting on this range of proposals; it is part of the way we reform our CITES regulatory framework. The idea is that the reforms will support economic growth, reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens and ensure effective protection for endangered species. The options include a proposal to revise the fees for permits and certificates, including those for musical instruments. This is in line with other countries. As I said, we are consulting, and we will look at all the information submitted to that consultation before we reach any final decision.
