question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will review the working of section 14 of the Animal Welfare Act 2006 and publish a new Code of Conduct relating to rabbits to bring the living space and welfare requirements for rabbits more in line with those in effect in other EU countries.
tabling member constituency	Newport West
tabling member printed	Paul Flynn
uin	8721
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2015 answer text <p>The Animal Welfare Act 2006 provides a comprehensive legal framework protecting the welfare of kept rabbits. Given that owners and potential owners can obtain specific advice on rabbit keeping from rabbit welfare and other animal welfare organisations, there is no need to introduce a statutory code of practice for pet rabbits under section 14 of the Act.</p><p>There is no specific EU wide legislation for the protection of farmed rabbits. In England, they are protected by the Welfare of Farmed Animals (England) Regulations 2007 and Defra’s code of recommendations for farmed rabbits. This code reflects the housing requirements as set out in the 2005 European Food Safety Authority’s scientific opinion on the health and welfare of farmed domestic rabbits.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 09/09/2015 10:08:29 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many arrests in connection with firearms there were in (a) Kingston and Surbiton constituency and (b) London in the last three years; and how many such arrests resulted in convictions for which a prison sentence of five years or more was imposed.
tabling member constituency	Kingston and Surbiton
tabling member printed	James Berry
uin	8823
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2015 answer text <p>The Home Office does not collect data on the number of people arrested in connection with firearms. For offences that may or may not involve a firearm (such as robbery) we cannot separately identify those that involved a firearm from those that did not. As a result, we cannot provide numbers of arrests made in connection with firearms. In addition, specific arrests made by the police cannot be linked to convictions and sentences given in court. As a result, we would be unable to say how many of those arrests led to a sentence of five years or more.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 08/09/2015 17:04:29 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
