Consultation responsesCLA professionals consistently engage policy makers and politicians at all levels. They scrutinise proposed primary and secondary legislation that affects rural landowners, propose amendments and draft new clauses in consultation with members. CLA advisers have responded to the following consultations: Showing the 10 latest of 21. Show all.  Introducing electronic reporting for pig movements in England and WalesThe CLA welcomes the option of electronic reporting for an industry which is often efficient and vertically integrated, and welcomes the retention of a paper system for those prevented from using this system by the inadequacy of internet access in many... [Policy Work/Consultation responses] - [10 June 2011] The Official Feed and Food Controls (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2011The CLA opposes the FSA's proposal, it is felt that by allowing the consultation document itself shows that the FSA has prejudged the situation, assuming that anyone who disagrees with their interpretation is non-compliant with food law. Thus they... [Policy Work/Consultation responses] - [10 November 2010] Changes to the Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2009Whilst there is some genuine attempts to reduce regulation, the CLA finds the attempt to ban advertising to farmers frankly ridiculous, denying information to an industry in the internet age must surely be the last gasp of an out of touch bureaucracy... [Policy Work/Consultation responses] - [6 September 2010] Draft Animal Health BillRead the CLA's views on the Draft Animal Health Bill here.

[Policy Work/Consultation responses] - [20 April 2010] Revised procedure for the review and, if necessary, suspension or withdrawal of approval of meat establishments with veterinary attendance The CLA expressed disquiet at this measure, feeling that the current level of inspection allows less scope for personal animosities to influence matters. [Policy Work/Consultation responses] - [19 January 2010] Supplementary Consultation on the Implementation of Electronic Identification for Sheep and individual recording for Sheep & GoatsThe CLA welcomes the possibility of flexibility this consultation offers, but stresses the need to ensure that the tag must not have a visible individual ID, merely a visible flockmark.

The CLA is in... [Policy Work/Consultation responses] - [15 July 2009] Review of the Farm Animal Welfare CouncilThe CLA considers that the FAWC could well be included within any future cost and responsibility sharing body rather than separating welfare and health. [Policy Work/Consultation responses] - [27 May 2009] Defra's Contingency Plan for Exotic Animal DiseasesThe CLA queries whether blutongue is still an exotic disease, and points out that in the comparatively short term the creation of contingency plans will have to be done jointly by industry and government [Policy Work/Consultation responses] - [19 August 2008] Responsibility and Cost Sharing for Animal Health and Welfare in WalesCLA Wales has responded to the Assembly's consultation "Responsibility and Cost Sharing for Animal Health & Welfare in Wales".
