HC Deb 24 January 1985 vol 71 c489W
Mr. Hunter

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is satisfied with the current regulations controlling the export of live animals; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Fenner

Council directives 77/489/EEC and 81/389/EEC, implemented in this country by the Export of Animals (Protection) Order 1981, provide a satisfactory framework for the protection of exported farm animals. My officials are in constant contact with other member states and with the EC Commission on this subject.
