A Bill to make provision regarding pets with microchips; and for connected purposes.
House of Commons
12 February 2025
Pets (Microchips) Bill is a proposal to establish a legal framework for pets that have microchips. It would set out rules on how microchip data is stored, shared and kept up to date, and clarify who is responsible for updating and maintaining information. The bill aims to support animal welfare and enable authorities to use microchip data for welfare and enforcement purposes.
The bill is currently at its second reading in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would move to committee stage for detailed examination.
