This new structure seeks to standardise and simplify the existing charging criteria, and bring CITES Musical Instrument Certificates (MICs) in-line with other permit costs. This will be based on a cost recovery model and supported by a full public consultation and impact assessment. The consultation will consider the timing of implementation as well as the fee structure.</p> answering member constituency Richmond Park answering member printed Zac Goldsmith question first answered 21/10/2019 15:12:41 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2019 answer text <p>Defra held an open public consultation in 2018 on a draft code of practice for pigs. The National Farmers’ Union and a range of key stakeholders engaged in the consultation process. Defra convened a sub-group which included the National Pig Association, the Pig Veterinary Society, AHDB Pork and the RSPCA to develop and refine the draft code further, and also engaged further with Compassion in Word Farming (CIWF). The Farm Animal Welfare Committee (FAWC) approved the final version of the draft code. The code applies to England only as animal welfare is a devolved matter.</p><p> </p><p>We continue to work very closely with the pig sector and will ensure owners and keepers of farmed pigs, are fully aware of the updated statutory code when it comes into force.</p> answering member constituency Richmond Park answering member printed Zac Goldsmith question first answered 21/10/2019 14:33:20 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park
