Motion text

That this House recognises that present quarantine restrictions on guide dogs and hearing dogs severely restrict people with sensory impairments from travelling abroad for work or leisure purposes; and calls upon the Government to act swiftly once the report of the Advisory Group on Quarantine is published, and prioritise guide dogs and hearing dogs in any pilot schemes which may follow to test alternative policies to quarantine.
