answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2016 answer text <p>I raised the issue of South Korea's dog meat trade with the South Korean Ambassador on 12 September. As I said during the Westminster Hall debate on the dog meat trade in South Korea on 12 September, high-profile global events such as the Olympic Games can be a catalyst for positive change. The South Korean government will be aware that the high profile of the Winter Games could cast a spotlight on issues such as the dog meat trade.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 16/12/2016 12:05:13 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2016 answer text <p>I spoke to the Republic of Korea (ROK) Ambassador on 12 September, ahead of a Westminster Hall Debate on the dog meat trade in ROK, to raise the issue of the dog meat trade and highlight the strength of feeling among the British public and Parliamentarians on this issue. As I stated in the Westminster Hall Debate, there is evidence that attitudes among the ROK public towards the dog meat trade and animal welfare are changing. We hope to encourage that change. The British Ambassador in RoK most recently raised the dog meat trade directly in Seoul on 1 September, highlighting our concerns about the treatment and welfare of animals. The UK has some of the highest animal welfare standards in the world and the British Government will continue to promote animal welfare with our international partners.</p><p>I have included a copy of the transcript of the 12 September Westminster Hall Debate with this answer.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 16/09/2016 11:14:56 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma attachment 1 file name PQ45849 Dog Meat Debate Transcript.docx title Dogmeat debate, Westminster Hall, 12/9/2016 1630
