The UK’s proposed ban on trade in modern day, post-1947 ivory, announced by the Secretary of State on 21 September, is a significant step towards implementation of our Manifesto commitment to press for a total ban on ivory sales. It sends a global message of the need to combat the threat to elephants from poaching and puts pressure on other countries to act.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 08/11/2016 12:08:45 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2016 answer text <p>Africa’s elephant population has seen the worst declines in 25 years, mainly due to poaching, with a reported decline of around 111,000 over the past decade. The UK’s proposed ban on trade in modern day, post-1947 ivory announced by the Secretary of State on 21 September will send a global message of the need to combat this threat to elephants and put pressure on other countries to act. The ban has not yet entered into force and we will consult on plans early next year. We will have to look at the impact of this change to current controls but it will put UK rules on ivory sales among the world’s toughest.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 01/11/2016 17:49:06 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
