HC Deb 20 June 1991 vol 193 c268W
27. Mr. Canavan

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many representations he has received this year to date about the transportation abroad of animals, particularly horses and ponies; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Maclean

The Government continue to receive a large number of representations on this subject.

In the Community negotiations we are pressing for the continuation of controls which prevent the export of horses for slaughter.
