§ Mr. Campbell-SavoursTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food on how many occasions in the last five years appointed local veterinary inspectors have certified animals which they owned for export. [20773]
§ Mrs. BrowningNo cases of LVIs certifying for export animals which they owned have been recorded.
229WThe conditions of appointment of local veterinary inspectors contain a strict condition that an LVI must not certify any animal for export when he or she has a direct financial interest in the animal including an interest arising from ownership of the animal or from employment in the service of the exporter of the animal. For this purpose, "animal" means any animal, bird or fish or any material in relation to any one of them.
