HC Deb 17 November 1978 vol 958 c410W
Mr. Corrie

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has received in the past six months on the banning of the export of live animals; and what action he is proposing to take.

Mr. Strang

In this period my right hon. Friend has received many letters, some containing petitions, opposing the export of live food animals and a small number in favour of continuing the trade. I refer the hon. Member to the reply given yesterday to the hon. Member for Preston, North (Mr. Atkins) and others.
