Ross Hamilton, British Horseracing Authority head of public affairs, who provided oral evidence to the committee, said,  “The Thoroughbred Industries Brexit Steering Group welcomes the publication of this important report. We are very grateful to the Select Committee for its careful consideration of the evidence presented by the industry and the clear recommendations for Government, with whom we continue to work closely on improving the arrangements currently in place for Thoroughbred movement.

“The implementation of a high health status for the expedited movement of Thoroughbreds for racing and breeding purposes, utilising the digital solutions such as the Weatherbys' E-Passport already in place in our industry, is an objective which has support across the British and European Thoroughbred sector. It will help support our industry's clear aim to raise animal welfare and health standards further, improve traceability of Thoroughbreds throughout their lives, and help ensure that Britain's world-leading position in the international industry, generating hundreds of millions of pounds in trade annually for the UK economy, can be boosted.”
