HC Deb 09 July 1997 vol 297 c506W
Mr. Vaz

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he proposes to improve welfare conditions in quarantine. [6881]

Mr. Morley

We are currently inspecting those quarantine kennels which have signed up to a Voluntary Code of Practice for the Welfare of Dogs and Cats in Quarantine Premises to ensure they can meet all its requirements. We would like to put this Code on a statutory basis when parliamentary time can be found.
