<p>The Government recognises there are concerns over the export of unweaned calves
for fattening. The Government launched a call for evidence on improving animal welfare
during transport after the UK leaves the EU, which included seeking information and
evidence on the transport of unweaned animals. The call for evidence was issued on
behalf of the UK Government and the Devolved Administrations. The call for evidence
has now closed and we are currently analysing the responses. We will be discussing
the evidence with the Devolved Administrations.</p><p> </p><p>The Government and the
Devolved Administrations have also asked the Farm Animal Welfare Committee (FAWC)
to look at what improvements could be made to the transport regulatory regime for
all animals. We hope to receive the recommendations from the FAWC later in the year.</p>
