HC Deb 07 February 1934 vol 285 c1142W
Mr. HENDERSON STEWART

asked the Minister of Agriculture what were the total quantities of horse flesh exported from this country during the years 1913, 1923, 1932, and 1933?

Mr. ELLIOT

Horse flesh is not separately distinguished in the official published returns. From information supplied by the Governments of the importing countries mainly concerned it would appear, however, that the number of horse carcases exported to them from this country in 1923 and 1932 was 51, 137 and 22, 111, respectively. Figures in respect of 1933 have not yet been received. I regret I have no figures for 1913.
