Pets: Animal Housing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the animal welfare provision and conditions within the Animal and Plant Health Agency licensed quarantine kennel and cattery facilities.
Answered by Daniel Zeichner
The Government is committed to preserving high animal welfare and biosecurity standards.
Authorised quarantine premises are approved and regularly inspected by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) to ensure they meet the standards specified in the conditions of their authorisation, which includes welfare standards.
We keep the adequacy of the animal welfare provision and conditions within authorised quarantine premises under regular review.
