of Commons on 15 March 2024.</p><p> </p><p>In August 2021 we launched a consultation
on the commercial and non-commercial movement of pets into Great Britain. It was a
wide-ranging consultation with excellent engagement with key stakeholders including
animal rescue charities. We are carefully reviewing the feedback from our consultation
and wider engagement with stakeholders, and the consultation response will be published
