uin	177162
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/10/2018 answer text <p>Under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018 which came into force on 1 October, dog breeders must be licensed if they are in the business of breeding and selling dogs, or if they breed three or more litters a year and sell any of the puppies. Guidance for local authorities reflects that the Government announced in 2016 a new allowance of £1,000 for trading income from April 2017. Anyone falling under that threshold will not need to be considered as a business, and the guidance is clear that the regulations are aimed at businesses and not hobby breeders.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 15/10/2018 10:25:06 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
