§ Baroness Byfordasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they consider the rules for the issue of special licences for camelid trekking are consistent 172WA with the announcement by the Lord Whitty on 11 April that cattle, pigs and camelids will be allowed to be exhibited from the start of the show season. [HL3798]
§ Lord WhittyCamelid trekking and the exhibiting of animals at agriculture shows are activities which pose a different degree of disease risk. Each activity has a set of controls designed to mitigate that risk, based on veterinary advice. The Government believe that the respective provisions are proportionate to the disease risks. They will keep the controls under review.
