answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2022 answer text <p>The Government takes the importation of pets seriously and we are committed to preserving our high standards of biosecurity and animal welfare.</p><p> </p><p>All pets travelling into Great Britain (GB) are checked for compliance prior to entry. To facilitate this, Defra requires that all pets entering GB airports are transported safely and securely to the pet checking facility. Operations at airports are sensitive and complex, and other vital border controls need to be considered. In practice, this means that most pets currently travel to GB by air as 'manifest cargo'. This enables the pets to be transferred directly to the pet checking facility and means that a documentary record of the pet’s arrival is available to customs and other border control officials.</p><p> </p><p>The safety and welfare of the animals is given prime importance before approval to transport the animals is granted. Carriers are required to ensure that air quality and quantity, temperature and pressure is maintained while the animals are on board. Food and water must also be provided, according to the journey duration. Stringent requirements are also in place for pet transport containers under the International Air Transport Association Live Animals Regulations, with space and ventilation concerns paramount.</p><p> </p><p>Currently, the only animals that are authorised to travel in the cabin of a commercial aircraft into GB are Recognised Assistance Dogs.</p><p> </p><p>We have no immediate plans to change the means by which pet cats and dogs may enter GB by air.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 29/03/2022 15:49:30 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
