Two years after the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs called for evidence on banning the import and sale of fur, no public response has been made about such an important issue.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs called for evidence on banning the import and sale of fur back in 2021, but two years on, we have yet to hear what the public think about such an important and timely issue. Will the Department commit to a date when it will release the results of the consultation on the fur market in Great Britain?
As I said, we are considering those responses and will publish our response very soon.
