§ Mr. Stephen Rossasked the Secretary of State for Trade (1) what whale products are currently restricted imports; and when these restrictions were imposed;
(2) what items would be affected by a total ban in the United Kingdom on all imports of whale products, except 264W sperm oil, spermaceti wax, ambergris and those products incorporated abroad into manufactured goods.
§ Mr. DeakinsImports of whole products, other than sperm oil, within Headings 02.04, 02.06, 05.09, 05.15, 15.04, 15.08, 15.12, and 16.03 of the Customs Tariff have been restricted since 16th March 1973. A total ban on imports of whale products, except sperm oil, spermaceti wax, ambergris and those products incorporated abroad into manufactured goods, would in addition to the products already restricted affect whale teeth and bones.
