HC Deb 21 July 1994 vol 247 c514W
Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions he has held with the Governor of Hong Kong on rhino horn stock piles and ivory sales.

Mr. Baldry

We keep in close touch with the Hong Kong Government on the international trade in endangered species. Controls over the trade are rigorously enforced in Hong Kong. The possession and sale of rhino horn is banned in Hong Kong. The domestic sale of ivory in Hong Kong does not infringe controls over trade in endangered species.
