HC Deb 25 January 1996 vol 270 c335W
Mr. Morley

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) what plans he has to review procedures for the veterinary inspection of live animals for transport; and if he will make a statement; [11118]

(2) what representations he has received in relation to the efficiency of veterinary inspection of live animals for transport. [11117]

Mrs. Browning

The Department is considering recent allegations that our detailed inspection procedures for live exports have not been followed. We will take firm action if a full assessment of all the available facts shows that there has been any failure to observe the rules or certification instructions.
