HC Deb 04 July 1973 vol 859 c143W
Mr. David Steel

asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make representations to the EEC Commission to undertake a Community programme to stop the export of live animals.

Mrs. Fenner

We support the Council of Europe Convention for the Protection of Animals in International Transport and intend to ratify as soon as possible. It would not be practicable to ban the movement of live animals between members of the Community.
