Mr. Pat Herbert:

All trainers' premises are routinely inspected in the course of a year. They are also subject to an application process whereby they must reapply on an annual basis for a trainer's licence under the trainers' regulations of 1961. In advance of any licence being issued, an authorised officer inspects the premises from an operational and welfare perspective to make sure it complies with the requirements of the code of practice that we published last November.
