Furs: Wales

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps her Department is taking to help tackle the import of unethical fur products to Wales.

Answered by Stephen Morgan

The Animal Welfare Strategy set out actions which this Government is taking concerning the fur trade and Defra has now brought together a working group on fur, with involvement from both industry experts and those who support restrictions on the trade in fur, to explore concerns and the different ways in which they could be addressed. This Government will continue working closely with Devolved Governments to take coordinated action on animal welfare matters where appropriate.
