<p>I recently wrote to the betting industry to underline the importance that the government
attaches to the existing voluntary agreements between betting and greyhound racing
through which funding is provided towards areas including animal welfare.</p><p>The
Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) is currently undertaking
a review of the effectiveness of the Welfare of Racing Greyhounds Regulations 2010.
In addition, the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (EFRA) Parliamentary Select Committee
is undertaking an inquiry into greyhound welfare to feed into Defra’s review. My Department
has submitted written evidence to EFRA and we will want to consider any recommendations
put forward by them as part of Defra’s review of the 2010 Regulations.</p><br />
