HC Deb 09 June 1972 vol 838 c183W
Mr. Jeffrey Archer

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will institute a ban on the importation into this country of pelts of endangered species of wildlife.

Mr. Emery

We recently restricted the importation of fur skins of certain species agreed internationally as endangered. We would consider extending the controls, if practicable, to other species about which similar expert agreement existed.
