answer text

<p>The UK is a world leader in animal welfare. The Government is committed to making any necessary changes required to domestic law in a rigorous and comprehensive way to ensure animal sentience is recognised after the UK leaves the EU. Defra is continuing to engage closely with stakeholders and other Government departments to further refine its policy on animal sentience. We will continue to consider carefully what other tools, processes, and mechanisms need to be put in place to ensure the animal sentience requirements are delivered by the Government effectively in practice.</p>
