HC Deb 19 February 1987 vol 110 c789W
64. Mr. Hardy

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will introduce legislation to extend to the export of cattle and sheep the regulations controlling the export of horses for slaughter.

Mr. Donald Thompson

No. The measures which restrict the export of horses to those intended for breeding, riding or reacreational use, by imposing a system of minimum values, would not be appropriate to the export of cattle and sheep.
