HC Deb 03 December 1964 vol 703 c101W
Mr. Forrest

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many buffaloes were included in the figure of 430 for imports of livestock recently classified by him as other, including buffaloes.

Mr. Redhead

This information is not available from the import statistics. The heading in the statistics, Other Cattle, including buffaloes follows the wording of the Standard International Trade Classification (Revised). The United Kingdom, in common with many other countries, bases its trade statistics on this classification, using the internationally agreed wording for the important purpose of aiding international trade comparisons.
