answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2019 answer text <p>The Government commends animal rescue centres for the valuable work they do caring for vulnerable animals in need. Defra is aware that many animal welfare charities support the introduction of licensing for the rescue and rehoming sector. They see this as a means to prevent disreputable dealers from reinventing themselves as rescue centres in order to evade the ban on third-party sales of puppies and kittens in England. The Government needs to understand the benefits and impacts of licensing on genuine rescue centres, and is engaging with the animal rescue and rehoming sector on these questions.</p><p> </p><p>To stop commercial operations circumnavigating the ban on third party sales, Defra will provide updated guidance to local authorities to help them distinguish between genuine rescue centres, and those that are actually commercial operations and are subject to the ban.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 19/02/2019 17:57:21 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
