answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2018 answer text <p>New regulations on licensing of activities involving animals were laid in draft on 8 February. They replace the existing laws on dog breeding, and in conjunction with supporting guidance being finalised, will allow those operators certified by UKAS-accredited organisations to be assessed as lower risk and subject to fewer inspections and a lower fee. Within the requirements of the inspection regime set out in the regulations, local authorities will be encouraged to avoid duplication of inspections where facilities are already inspected by UKAS-accredited bodies and to work collaboratively with UKAS-accredited organisations on this.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2018 answer text <p>Defra has published information on the Government’s official website GOV.UK advising prospective owners how to source a puppy responsibly. It recommends seeking advice on acquiring the puppy from a reputable source such as the Kennel Club and provides a link to their website. We are also updating the laws on breeding and selling dogs. One of the improvements is that licensed breeders who are members of an organisation which has been accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service will be considered as lower risk and as such may be entitled to a longer licence, unless the local authority finds evidence of poor animal welfare or non-compliance.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 08/02/2018 11:13:47 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
