answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2015 answer text <p>I refer the hon. Member to the reply previously given to the hon. Member for Brighton, Pavilion on 2 June 2015, PQ UIN 416.</p><p> </p><p>The interim licensing scheme for the use of wild animals in travelling circuses in England came into force in January 2013. A preliminary assessment by Defra of the effectiveness of the licensing scheme was undertaken after the first set of annual licences issued had expired. The preliminary review suggested that the Regulations have been effective in establishing a licensing regime that appears to be ensuring compliance with the agreed welfare requirements of the Regulations for wild animals in travelling circuses. A full evaluation of the licensing scheme will be carried out, if required, as part of the statutory five year review.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice grouped question UIN 1053 1054 question first answered 09/06/2015 12:36:56 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
