They are according to the DEFRA website.. leaping and large lemurs (Indriidae and lemuridae) require a DWAL.

There has been a lot of talk of animals being taken off the list, but thus far nothing has actually been removed. The DWAL is being overhauled in the near future, so they may well be coming off then.

It also depends which species he is referring to, as not ever species was on the list to begin with - for example the broad nosed lemur and grey gentle lemur are excepted.

Both those animals are Lemuridae, which are controlled under the DWA. The only exception within the family Lemuridae are Hapalemur (bamboo) lemurs

These lemurs have not been removed from the DWA yet, though a recent DEFRA proposal has suggested they be removed when the DWA is overhauled.

They have also recommended tamarins, owl monkeys, squirrel monkeys, wooly lemurs, porcupines, capybara, some felis species, racoons, coatis, kinkajous, olingos, coatimundi, the biturong, hyraxes, sand snakes, mangrove snakes and the brazilian wolf spider are removed.

Whether any or all of these species will be removed remains to be seen.
If anyone is interested the proposals can be found here: http://www.defra.gov.uk/corporate/co...nsultation.pdf

we have the licence, and by air tight i mean as tight as a ducks ass so nothing will get out, air tight and tight as a ducks ass are just a figure of spech.

i wanted to keep some hots at home and it wasnt possible (legally) as the requirements here (scotland, west lothian) were not worth the hassle.
p.s i have care of a HOT at the mo and i even know myself its wrong.

Just out of interest say you had a reptile that wasn't on the DWA but was moved onto it for some reason or another would you have to get a DWA to continue keeping it?
