HC Deb 23 November 1992 vol 214 cc532-3W
Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what arrangements have been made with the Dutch Government concerning the sealing of lorries carrying British cattle in transit to Holland before and after 1 January 1993; and what steps have been taken to protect the welfare of the animals concerned.

Mr. Soames

We have received no formal request from the Dutch authorities about the sating of lorries carrying British cattle in transit to Holland and cattle for export are not sealed in transporters.
