uin	907597
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/10/2020 answer text <p>The £14 million Zoos Support Fund ended and has been replaced by the £100 million Zoo Animals Fund. To make this fund even more accessible, we have expanded the eligibility criteria so that grant payments to zoos begin when they reach their final 12 weeks of financial reserves, rather than six weeks, and so that zoos can apply for funding at any time before reaching this 12 week point to help with their business planning. Defra officials have been engaging regularly with larger zoos to understand their concerns and will continue to do so.</p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Victoria Prentis question first answered 15/10/2020 16:51:19 answering member 4401 label Biography information for Victoria Prentis
