For example, local authorities are encouraged to offer universal access to testing and treatment for chlamydia for young people age 15-24 as part of the National Chlamydia Screening Programme.

This includes, for example, restricting the species that can be sold. The power to apply conditions to an individual licence is in section 1(3) of the 1951 Act and is intended to help secure the welfare requirements set out in that section.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 16/12/2015 13:25:42 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2015 answer text <p>Under the Welfare of Racing Greyhounds Regulations 2010, there is no statutory requirement on any greyhound organisation or individual track to report any figures to Defra. The Regulations have now been in force for five years and Defra is currently undertaking a review of their effectiveness. The review is looking at the requirement on tracks to collect injury statistics and how they are then used; and the traceability of greyhounds after they have left the sport. Defra is currently consulting on the initial findings of the review as well as proposals for further action. Further proposals include agreement by the main industry regulator, the Greyhound Board of Great Britain (GBGB), to begin publishing figures for the numbers of greyhounds injured at GBGB affiliated tracks each year, as well as the number of greyhounds that leave GBGB racing each year.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 17/12/2015 14:51:47 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
