Tiger Products (Hansard, 18 January 1996)

§ Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

[holding answer 17 January 1996]: HM Customs and Excise have yet to finalise their statistics for 1995. I can say, however, that in the first three quarters of the year to 30 September 1995 the following tiger products were seized as having been imported in breach of convention on international trade in endangered species requirements:

1 bottle of tiger bone pills
1 bottle of tiger bone tincture
10 packets of tiger bone pills
10 packets of tiger bone plasters
5 bottles of tiger liniment
5 sheets of musk and tiger bone plasters.
