Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What proportion of stockists of marine animals source their stock from suppliers certified as sustainable by the Marine Aquarium Council (MAC); and whether they will consider introducing a licensing scheme for selling marine wildlife that would require MAC certification. [HL3964]

The Minister of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
(Lord Rooker)

The Government do not hold the information requested. There are no current plans to introduce a licensing scheme for selling marine wildlife that would require Marine Aquarium Council certification.
