HC Deb 25 October 1971 vol 823 c222W
25. Mr. James Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what legislation he proposes regarding the importation of skins of endangered species of wild animals such as the cheetah, cougar, leopard and puma; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Anthony Grant

The practicability of controlling such imports under existing legislation will be sympathetically considered as soon as the Department receives the essential technical information from the British Fur Trade Association.
