HC Deb 12 April 1988 vol 131 c64W
Mr. Michael Brown

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many items of loxodonta Africana were detained by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise in 1987 and subsequently given approval for importation by the endangered species branch of the Department of the Environment.

Mr. Lilley

Records of such detentions are not maintained centrally and the information sought could be obtained only at disproportionate expense.
