PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(21 February 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to support farmers facing increased veterinary insurance premiums.

Asked by:
Edward Morello (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

Insurance providers are private businesses and are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. However, through the Animal Health and Welfare Pathway, we are providing eligible keepers of cattle, sheep and pigs in England access to a series of funded visits by a vet of their choice, the animal health and welfare review and the complementary endemic disease follow-up visit.
