Animal Feed: Public Consultation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make an assessment of the adequacy of the accessibility to people who are digitally excluded of the consultation entitled Livestock feed controls review for England and Wales.
Answered by Daniel Zeichner
The joint Defra and Welsh Government consultation on proposed changes to the current Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs) related livestock feed controls opened on 4th February and will close on 1st April 2025.
Online engagement is an efficient and transparent means for sharing proposals and gathering feedback from groups and individuals affected by or interested in proposed changes. It is part of a wider engagement process. Defra and the Welsh government have emailed key stakeholders and asked them to share the consultation.
Responding on Citizen Space is encouraged as it facilitates analysis of responses. People who are unable to respond to the consultation online can request a printed copy of the consultation and reply by post. We consider accessibility by ensuring all consultations are compliant with the Disability and Equality Act 2010 and accessible to people with disabilities as defined by the Act.
