§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the President of the Board of Trade how many(a) dangerous wild animals and (b) exotic animals were imported into the United Kingdom in each of the last five years from each continent; and if she will make a statement. [10782]
§ Angela EagleI have been asked to reply.
Information in the form requested is not held centrally. Data on imports to the United Kingdom and other EU member states under the convention on international trade in endangered species of wild fauna and flora are published by the European Commission and include endangered live animals. I am arranging for the data supplied by the United Kingdom for the EU reports between 1991 and 1995 to be placed in the Library of the House.
