answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2019 answer text <p>We are expecting to introduce a new fees and charges structure for Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) permitting in 2020. 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
