Cattle: Animal Welfare
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment his Department has made of trends in the geographical distribution of cattle-specific infrastructure grants under the Animal Health and Welfare Pathway.
Answered by Daniel Zeichner
The deadline for full applications for the Calf Housing for Health and Welfare grant was the 30 April 2025. There were no geographic targets for the grant.
The Rural Payments Agency (RPA) is in the process of reviewing and approving final applications for the grant. It is too early to assess the distribution of grants awarded, until all full applications have been assessed and grant funding agreements issued to successful applicants.
