The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent discussions she has had with her US counterpart on the proposed UK ban of trophy hunting imports.

Answered by Mary Creagh

Baroness Hayman met with a United States Government representative in July 2025 to discuss the UK Government’s proposed ban on imports of hunting trophies.

The Government committed to a ban on the import of hunting trophies in its manifesto and will deliver on this.

The department engages constructively with a range of stakeholders, including other Governments, to understand different perspectives and ensure that we can implement a robust ban.
