answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/03/2017 answer text <p>Local authorities have powers under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 to enforce animal welfare and, at a district level, local authorities regulate certain licensed activities involving animals. At a county level, local authorities also carry out various functions in relation to on-farm animal welfare. The Government does not hold records as to what degree individual local authorities enforce animal welfare laws. It is up to each local authority to decide what level of enforcement they will provide in relation to animal welfare based upon local priorities.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 10/03/2017 12:01:02 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble
