To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, to what timescale her Department is working to bring forwards measures from the Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill through other legislative means.
Answer
On 20 June 2023 we launched a consultation on the proposed licensing scheme for private primate keepers in England and the draft standards for care and management of primates. We will be taking forward other measures in the Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill individually through other means during the remainder of this Parliament. Parliamentary business will be announced in the usual way.
