HC Deb 06 February 1978 vol 943 c369W
30. Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what is the number of skins of wild felines imported during the first six months of 1976 and 1977 and to date in 1978.

Mr. Meacher

The figures given in the Overseas Trade Statistics for imports of wild feline skins for 1976 and 1977 were considerably inflated by the mistaken inclusion of several non-feline species. Fully corrected figures will be made available by Her Majesty's Customs as soon as possible.
