To ask Her Majesty's Government whether any hauliers carrying live exports of animals have been held up at the UK borders as a result of the UK's departure from the EU; and what welfare provisions they have put in place to protect any such live exports.
Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park
The Minister of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) has not been advised of livestock or horses being held up at the UK border.
For an export consignment of live animals to be approved a completed contingency plan must be submitted by the haulier to APHA. These plans include the details of welfare provisions that have been put in place by the individual transporter.
There have been no ‘Journey Logs for Exports’ approved since the UK’s departure from the EU.
