answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2016 answer text <p>Although the proposed ban on sales of ivory less than 70 years old is expected to have a relatively modest impact on volumes of trade, the global trade for modern ivory is more likely to fuel demand and provide a means of laundering fresh ivory from illegally-killed elephants than trade in older items. We want to send a strong signal, both within the UK and internationally, that ivory is not desirable and that legal domestic trade in ivory should be stopped where it is contributing to poaching and trafficking. Closing the market for UK sales of ivory less than 70 years old will be an important way of doing this.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 07/12/2016 10:49:38 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2016 answer text <p>The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) does not hold information on how much pre-1947 worked ivory is in circulation. There is derogation in the EC CITES Regulation for pre -1947 worked ivory which means that commercial use within the EU does not require documentation.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 06/12/2016 10:47:22 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
