answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2015 answer text <p>A new EU Pet Travel Regulation (576/2013) came into force on 29 December 2014 and introduced changes designed to improve the security of the scheme and traceability of the pet passport. These changes include a requirement that pets must be at least 12 weeks old when they are vaccinated against rabies. This means that, under the new EU rules, pets must be at least 15 weeks old to enter the UK.</p><p>Responsibility for stopping the illegal movement of puppies begins in the country where they are born, where the authorities have a duty to ensure that the welfare of pets intended for sale is safeguarded and that EU pet passports are issued correctly. Following a recent report by the Dogs Trust ‘<em>The Puppy Smuggling Scandal’ </em>published in November 2014, the Chief Veterinary Officer wrote to the authorities in the countries highlighted in the report and follow up action has been taken. Defra officials will continue to act on reports of abuse of the pet travel scheme.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 14/01/2015 15:47:31 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/01/2015 answer text <p>The Government considers that local authorities have the necessary powers to ensure the welfare of dogs at licensed dog breeding establishments under existing laws in England. In addition, my department wrote to all local authorities in England reminding them that the criteria for deciding if a dog breeder needs to be licensed is whether they are in the business of breeding and selling dogs, regardless of the number of litters bred or sold in a twelve month period.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 09/01/2015 14:08:09 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/05/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p>The benefits of pregnant women being cared for by a named midwife are widely recognised. The latest available evidence for antenatal clinical practice was considered as part of the development of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence's (NICE) Quality Standard for antenatal care in 2012. Based on this evidence, NICE recommends that pregnant women are cared for by a named midwife who is responsible for providing all or most of her antenatal and postnatal care and the women's coordinating care should they not be available.</p><p> </p><p>The Care Quality Commission's 2013 survey of women's experiences of maternity care found that women who saw the same midwife each time tended to report more positive experiences of antenatal and postnatal care.</p><p> </p><p>Health Education England is currently leading a project to explore the ambitions for personalised maternity care and consider different scenarios for how maternity services could be configured in the future, including the capability and capacity of the workforce.</p> answering member constituency Central Suffolk and North Ipswich answering member printed Dr Daniel Poulter question first answered 06/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3932 label Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter
