HC Deb 12 June 1996 vol 279 c200W
Mr. Heppell

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if the Minister has received a claim for damages from Hedley Lomas (Ireland) Ltd. or its livestock export consultant. [32473]

Mrs. Browning

In December 1992 Hedley Lomas (Ireland) Ltd. lodged an application for judicial review in respect of the Ministry's refusal to issue the company with a licence in accordance with the Export of Animals (Prohibition) Order 1991. That application included a claim for damages but the company has not, to date, provided particulars for the alleged losses arising as a result of the decision.
