Answer
I currently have no plans to introduce a requirement to microchip kittens within Northern Ireland.
I am aware that the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has consulted on a proposal to make the microchipping of kittens in England compulsory. I will keep the position on this matter under review.
