§ 65. Sir H. Legge-Bourkeasked the Minister of Agriculture. Fisheries and Food what have been the net earnings for the latest convenient period resulting from the export of dogs from the United Kingdom to Japan; what is the number of animals involved; and what regulations have to be complied with to enable this type of exportation to occur.
§ Mr. John MackieThe information requested on net earnings is not available. There are no regulations covering the export of dogs from this country and no licensing procedure. Where importing countries require certification that the animal has come from a country free from rabies, my Department provides the necessary certificate.
§ 66. Mr. Crawshawasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will make a further statement about the export of dogs to Japan.
§ Mr. John MackieI am at present studying reports from the Embassy in Tokyo and will inform the hon. Member, as soon as possible, of my conclusions.
