§ 57. Mr. Bevinsasked the Minister of Agriculture if he is aware that donkeys are being imported into the United Kingdom, and slaughtered for human consumption; and if he will introduce legislation to prohibit the import of donkeys for food.
Mr. T. Williams:Yes, I understand that a small number of donkeys are imported and that some of them are slaughtered for human consumption. I see no justification for introducing legislation to prohibit the import of donkeys.
