	uin	214548
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2019 answer text <p>Defra is keen to ensure that we uphold our high standards of animal welfare including in relation to tethering. Under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 (the 2006 Act) it is an offence to fail to provide for an animal’s welfare or to cause it any unnecessary suffering. The 2006 Act is backed up by the statutory Code of Practice for the Welfare of Horses, Ponies, Donkeys and Their Hybrids (the Code). The Code provides owners and keepers with information on how to meet the welfare needs of their animals and includes a specific section on how to tether a horse and other animals are covered. The code makes it clear that the site should not allow animals’ access to a public highway or public footpaths. If anyone is concerned about the way a horse or other animal has been tethered they should report the matter either to the relevant local authority or to the RSPCA or World Horse Welfare who can investigate. If a horse or other animal is found not to be tethered appropriately it could lead to a prosecution under the 2006 Act. Defra considers that this legislation and guidance provides the right safeguards in respect of tethering.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 07/02/2019 17:31:45 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2023 answer text <p>Israel has a right to self-defence and needs to be able to address the threat posed by Hamas, in a manner that abides by International Humanitarian Law. The UK is supportive of humanitarian pauses, and the temporary cessation of hostilities, to enable humanitarian organisations to deliver aid and give respite to civilians. The recent pause was a welcome opportunity to get hostages out and to allow increased amounts of aid and fuel in. The UK continues to press, both at the UN and directly with Israel, for unhindered humanitarian access and further substantive, repeated humanitarian pauses; to tackle the humanitarian crisis, we need an immediate and sustained humanitarian pause to allow aid in at scale and Israel to open Kerem Shalom fully.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 12/12/2023 17:44:49 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2023 answer text <p>The Foreign Secretary visited Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories on 23 November, where he met President Isaac Herzog, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Eli Cohen and other senior Israeli officials and discussed the conflict and the future. The Foreign Secretary expressed concerns that there will be no long-term safety, security and stability for Israel unless there is long term safety, security and stability for the Palestinian people, particularly children. The UK government is concerned about the shocking impact of the conflict on children in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories and UK humanitarian aid will ensure the specific needs of children are met, including the specific needs of girls. As reiterated by the Prime Minister at COP28 in December 2023, we are continually making it clear that Israel must take maximum care to protect civilian life, especially young lives.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 12/12/2023 17:44:33 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
