HC Deb 30 November 1999 vol 340 c183W
Mr. Hancock

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many statutory notices have been issued under Article 18 of the Welfare of Animals (Transport) Order 1997. [99290]

Mr. Morley

1,168 Notices were recorded between 1 October 1997 and 19 November 1999. These notices were served for infringements of the Order and to facilitate the legal transport of unfit animals for treatment or slaughter. It is not possible to split the figure between these two purposes.
