§ Miss McIntoshTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what recent representations she has received on the future of auction marts. [40377]
§ Mr. MorleyI have received a number of representations from auctioneers and the livestock industry. From 11 February it has been possible, under the Interim Animal Movements Regime, for some livestock markets to re-open, subject to biosecurity conditions. I am keeping the position of livestock markets under review.
