§ Mr. Tony BanksTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will hold discussions with the Governments of Botswana and Zambia about compensation for forgoing elephant cropping; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. WaldegraveI have no plans to do so. In preparation for the next meeting of parties to the convention on international trade in endangered species of wild fauna and flora in October, the Republic of Cameroon is consulting African Governments on how best to afford protection under the convention of the African elephant.
