HC Deb 26 July 1985 vol 83 cc838-9W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what restrictions exist on transfers of racehorses from the Continent to the United Kingdom for particular race-meetings.

Mrs. Fenner

My Department licenses the importation of racehorses from Western European countries provided they meet detailed animal health conditions designed to ensure that both the animals in question and the premises from which they originate are free of significant contagious or infectious diseases.
