Consultation on Banning UK sales of ivory

Editor News

The Government is consulting on its proposed total ban on UK sales of ivory that could contribute either directly or indirectly to the continued poaching of elephants.

The ban will be subject to some strictly defined exemptions. We want evidence about the scope of the proposed exemptions and how they could operate. We also want evidence on how the ban should be enforced and the sanctions that should be applied.

The Alliance will be responding on the potential impacts for the heritage sector. If you’re are a member with views on this issue please share them with policy@theheritagealliance.org.uk.

This consultation closes at 11:45pm on 29 December 2017.
