HC Deb 15 June 1965 vol 714 c60W
Mr. Biffen

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what proposals he has to limit or prohibit the export of live animals for slaughter.

Mr. Peart

It remains the Government's policy to limit the export from Great Britain of cattle, sheep and pigs for slaughter to countries which have given the welfare undertakings known as the Balfour Assurances.
