answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2020 answer text <p>The Animal and Plant Health Agency is not able to provide data regarding this matter.</p><p> </p><p>Dogs entering the UK from the EU do so on an Intra-Trade Animal Health Certificate (ITAHC) issued via the Trade Control and Expert System.</p><p> </p><p>There is no requirement for the certifying veterinarian to add the vehicle registration to the ITAHC and there can be multiple vehicles per ITAHC. Usually, the vehicle registration is not entered onto the ITAHC when it is created because the certifying veterinarian will have no knowledge of which vehicle is going to be used. They can inspect the consignment at any time in the 48 hours prior to travel, so it is unlikely that the transport will have arrived when they are doing their inspection.</p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Victoria Prentis question first answered 21/05/2020 14:20:44 answering member 4401 label Biography information for Victoria Prentis
