Lord HOUGHTON of SOWERBY

asked Her Majesty's Government:

  1. (i) whether they are aware of growing public concern at the conditions in which horses are exposed for sale in markets and transported to slaughter houses for export to EEC countries as carcasses;
  2. (ii) what powers of supervision are open to any government department 494 committee. The information asked for about other species involved in such experiments is not readily available.
