Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if any turtle products have been imported into the United Kingdom during the past 12 months.

Mr. Channon

Import permits have been granted for turtle products in accordance with European Council regulation No. 3626/82 which implements the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora within the European Community. However, information on the take-up of these permits for the last 12 months is not yet available.
