HC Deb 08 March 1949 vol 462 cc105-6W
Mr. De la Bère

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that the Bank of England refused the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals representatives the necessary currency required in carrying out their recent investigations in Belgium into the importation of British horses into that country, arrangements can be made for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to make a small grant to the Belgian animal protection society in order to repay that society for the expenses they incurred.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

No, Sir. I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave my hon. Friend the Member for Newport (Mr. Peter Freeman) on 3rd March.
