§ Mr. Tony BanksTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement regarding the Convention on International Trade on Endangered Species meeting in Lausanne.
§ Mr. TrippierThe time for a full statement will be after the Conference is concluded at the end of this week. In the meantime, however, we very much welcome the decisive votes in favour of transferring the African elephant to appendix I and so banning trade in ivory.
