HC Deb 08 June 1931 vol 253 cc626-7
50. Mr. MACPHERSON

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he can now make a further statement with regard to the export of aged and infirm horses; and what steps, if any, he proposes to take to prohibit this traffic?

Dr. ADDISON

I am sending the right hon. and learned Member a copy of the reply which I gave to a question put by the hon. and gallant Member for Torquay (Mr. C. Williams) on the 30th January, 1930, from which he will see that horses are not passed for export unless they are fit to work and to travel.
