HC Deb 28 July 1989 vol 157 c1082W
Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will give details of all African elephant products, other than ivory, imported each year into the United Kingdom by type, quantity and value since 1985.

Mr. Redwood

[holding answer 27 July 1989]: African elephants' products are not identified in the overseas trade statistics. However, some information by type and quantity for 1985 and 1986 is available from the EC annual reports on the convention of international trade in endangered species of wild fauna and flora (CITES): chapter 2, copies of which are in the Library.
