HC Deb 13 May 1991 vol 191 c7W
Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what information he has on the number of transit-shed operators at Heathrow airport which operate road vehicles which conform with International Air Transport Association regulations regarding the movement of live animals and birds.

Mr. Trippier

The IATA live animals regulations do not cover ground transport. It is the responsibility of the shipper to ensure that live animals are packed in accordance with the regulations, and the responsibility of the carrier to ensure that live animal shipments are properly handled and loaded.

Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what information he has on which airlines landed consignments of live birds into the United Kingdom in 1990.

Mr. Trippier
