To ask the Scottish Government, regarding the UK Government's Animal Welfare Strategy for England, what engagement it has had with the UK Government on the development of the section titled "The fur trade".
The Scottish Government was not involved in the development of the UK Government Animal Welfare Strategy for England. We will carefully consider the proposals in the Strategy, and where it is possible, and pragmatic, to work jointly and improve the welfare of animals across the UK, we will certainly seek to do so.
