HC Deb 28 January 1988 vol 126 c315W
Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will raise with the Chinese Foreign Minister when he meets him in the spring the need to prevent the trade in rare and endangered species of wildlife between the Dongmen market in Shenzhen and Hong Kong; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eggar

We have already drawn to the attention of the Chinese authorities the concern which is widely felt in this country about this matter. I understand that the Chinese authorities entirely share this concern.
