On 30 May, I announced my intention to proceed with implementation of the majority recommendations of the Working Group which was set up to review the management of dog breeding establishments. This decision followed the conclusion of an extensive public consultation process on the matter. The Dog Breeders Association were represented on the Working Group and have had many opportunities to make their views known to me. Now that the public consultation process has concluded, I have no proposals to have further meetings with any interest groups on the matter.
