Welfare organisations say that keeping primates in a domestic environment is incompatible with their complex social, behavioural, environmental and dietary needs.

Without specialist training, most people will not have the knowledge required to care properly for these animals, said Philip Mansbridge from Care for the Wild, a wildlife charity that gave evidence to the committee.

"Unless you can put a rainforest in your back garden, it is very difficult to recreate the diet, the environment, the temperature, the surroundings and the space for that animal - primates need to run, jump and swing, all very hard to do in somebody's front room."

The report says that the MPs are minded to ban the ownership and trade in these species. They acknowledge in their report that many of those who gave evidence were in favour of a complete ban but the MPs say that previous attempts to control animals by law have not always worked well.

"If you look at something like the Dangerous Dogs Act, where there was a kneejerk reaction of a ban, we've been trying to unravel it ever since," said Ms McIntosh.

"And in that case the breeders just came up with another type of dog."

The government says it will consider the report.卸妝產品
