DEFRA SATISFIED WITH GBGB PROGRESS....GREYHOUND STAR — OCTOBER 16, 2018 greyhoundstar.co.uk/defra-happy-gbgb-progress/DEFRA have given the Greyhound Board of Great Britain a sign of satisfaction with the job they are doing following a written question by Anna Turley, the MP for Redcar.
She wanted: “To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what discussions his Department has had with the Greyhound Board of Great Britain on that organisation’s injury and retirement data, published on 14 March 2018.”
The Government response was:
“The Greyhound Board of Great Britain (GBGB) began publishing injury and retirement data from GBGB affiliated tracks earlier this year as part of several non-regulatory agreements they have with Defra arising from Defra’s Post Implementation Review of the Welfare of Racing Greyhounds Regulations 2010. Officials have regular discussions with the GBGB on this, and are satisfied with the progress being made. Officials also meet regularly with the Chair of the Greyhound Forum, which represents a series of welfare groups with an interest in the welfare of racing and retired greyhounds.”
