HC Deb 30 January 1978 vol 943 c3W
Mr. Tim Renton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what support is given by his Department to the preservation of native pony breeds in Scotland; and whether he proposes to continue the support.

Mr. Millan

None. The purpose of the Highland Pony Stud was to improve the quality of crofters' ponies, not to preserve the breed.
