HC Deb 26 May 1994 vol 244 c309W
Mr. Alex Carlile

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what further measures are planned to monitor the movement of livestock through the channel tunnel; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Soames

The channel tunnel operator, Eurotunnel, has informed the Ministry that its policy remains one of not carrying live animals, including farm livestock and horses, through the tunnel. The state veterinary service will monitor the tunnel in the same way as other south coast ports.
