Horses (Imports and Exports) (Hansard, 28 February 1956)

HC Deb 28 February 1956 vol 549 cc105-6W 106W

§ 87. Mr. E. Johnson
asked the President of the Board of Trade the value of the thoroughbred horses imported into, and exported from, the United Kingdom in the years 1954 and 1955, respectively, and of the total exports, what was the value of those to the United States.

§ Mr. Low
Thoroughbreds are not separately distinguished in the Trade Returns.
Following are the figures of our trade in horses, which I understand are nearly all thoroughbreds:

— 1954 1955

Total imports into U.K. 5,287,000 5,779,000

Total U.K. Exports^* 5,018,000 5,579,000

Exports to U.S.A.^* 772,000 768,000

^* Re-exports of horses are included in the figures for exports owing to the difficulty of separate classification.
