Dear

PROVISION OF REQUESTED INFORMATION

Thank you for your request for information about , which we received on 18 January 2016. Your request has been handled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The information you requested and our response is detailed below:

“I've been trying to compile a complete list of the zoological collections of the British Isles.

I was wondering whether you would be able to provide me with a list of all premises which currently hold a licence, and all former zoo licence holders too.”

See Appendix 1 for a list that APHA hold on currently licensed zoos in Great Britain (, and ), as at 18 January 2016 (date of request).

See Appendix 2 for a list that APHA hold on closed zoos in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales), as at 18 January 2016 (date of request). This data is not complete as zoos typically get deleted from APHA’s database once it becomes inactive.

Please note that Local Authorities’ Trading Standards departments are responsible for administering zoo licensing under the Zoo Licensing Act 1981, and APHA are only responsible for maintaining a list of zoo inspectors and nominating them for inspections. Therefore both Appendices have been produced from APHA’s list of inspectors nominated to inspect a zoo.

The list in Appendix 1 does not include collections that may be considered a zoo but are exempt from the Act and therefore do not require a licence.

The Animal and Plant Health Agency is an Executive Agency of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs working to safeguard animal and plant health for the benefit of people, the environment and the economy. I attach an Annex which explains the copyright that applies to the information being released to you and contact details should you be unhappy with the service you have received.
