The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it is aware of any assessment of the impact on greyhound racing should a requirement to microchip all racing greyhounds be introduced in Scotland.
The answer
The Scottish Government is not aware of any assessment of the impact on greyhound racing if all racing greyhounds were required to be microchipped. However, all greyhounds registered with the Greyhound Board of Great Britain require greyhounds to be permanently identified. From April this year this identification includes a microchip.
