The question
To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-24239 by Richard Lochhead on 5 June 2009, whether it is considering issuing a code of practice on the welfare of racing greyhounds.
The answer
The Scottish Government does not intend to issue a code of practice specifically on the welfare of racing greyhounds. A code of practice on the welfare of dogs will be issued later in the year and much of the advice in that code will be appropriate for racing greyhounds. Practical guidance on track safety and other matters is available from the Greyhound Board of Great Britain.
