The GLD legal team, based in Defra, have worked very quickly to progress the Bill. It was introduced on 23 May and it has already completed its stages in the House of Commons, and will be debated further in the House of Lords after summer recess. The Bill concerns dealing in elephant ivory (including buying, selling and hiring) which, when passed will be an offence punishable by a custodial sentence of up to five years and/or an unlimited fine, or a civil penalty of up to £250,000. The Ivory Bill follows the result of a consultation which concluded in December 2017, for which more than 70,000 people and organisations responded.

The Bill will continue its path through Parliament in September and if it faces no opposition could come into effect next year.
