Thank you for the reply, Minister. Fifteen European countries have already introduced bans on keeping primates as pets, for either all or some species. In October 2016, RSPCA Cymru called on the Welsh Government to join those 15 countries and introduce the ban in Wales. When will the Cabinet Secretary be in a position to announce her plans to update the existing animal welfare codes of practice, and will she commit to ban the keeping of primates as pets in Wales, please?
