To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what proportion of dog seamen that is imported into the UK under The Trade in Animals and Related Products Regulations 2011 is imported by (a) private residents, (b) registered veterinary practices and (c) businesses other than a registered veterinary practice.

Data specifically on the import of canine semen is not available. This is because there is a commodity code on the trade systems, TRACES or the Import of products, animals, food and feed system (IPAFFS), for semen and embryos but canine semen is recorded under ‘other species’ in this code.
