HC Deb 12 December 1973 vol 866 c155W
8. Mr. Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is his latest information about the extent of cattle smuggling between Northern Ireland and Eire.

9. Miss Quennell

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what he is doing about smuggling of animals across the border; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Mills

Since there are no financial incentives to smuggle livestock at present, smuggling is no longer taking place on any significant scale. At the moment there is no need for special measures to counteract illegal movements.
