§ Mr. HesfordTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what changes to the quarantine requirements for animals coming into the United Kingdom would require(a) primary and (b) secondary legislation. [29721]
§ Mr. RookerChanges to the quarantine rules could be made under secondary legislation. However, although there is currently no European Union legislation on the movement of pet animals, there could be in the future—and UK legislation would then have to take account of this.
