HC Deb 16 February 1954 vol 523 c187W
54. Mr. Remnant

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the manner in which Her Majesty's Customs dispose of animals seized by them.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

It is only on rare occasions that Her Majesty's Customs find themselves in possession of animals. But in general sale by tender is the normal rule for the disposal of goods seized by the Customs. Other methods may however be adopted in particular cases.
