answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2019 answer text <p>I have not raised this issue with my Chinese counterpart. However, the Government is committed to raising standards of animal welfare at home and abroad. The sale and consumption of dog meat is legal in many countries, including China, and there are no international norms, laws or agreements governing this. We believe that it is necessary to work with governments around the world to gain agreement on animal welfare standards, and to phase out cruel and inhumane practices. There is no suggestion that the event will break any local or international laws.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 29/04/2019 16:10:16 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
