Answer

To support bilateral relationships held with different international counterparts, I receive information from time to time on the trade and export of live animals. In terms of policy advice relating to relating to reinstating livestock exports by sea, none. Regarding the volume of correspondence I have received, it is not possible to provide a comprehensive answer to this part of your question within the timeframe for answers to Written Questions, in accordance with Speaker's Ruling 210/6.
