answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2018 answer text <p>The UK is at the forefront of international efforts to protect endangered animals from unsustainable trade. We hosted a high level conference on the Illegal Wildlife Trade in London in October, and at that conference China co-hosted a session on combatting the ivory trade following their introduction of a domestic ivory ban. Senior officials in Beijing and London have raised our concerns with China at their recent adjustment to their 1993 legislation on tiger and rhino products. We continue to seek clarification on whether their recent reversal of this legislation will be permanent.</p><p>​</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 04/12/2018 15:57:47 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
