§ Mr. EvansTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what the estimated value in sales was of the fur farming industry in the final year of production. [178285]
§ Mr. BradshawI have been asked to reply.
Figures on fur farming industry sales could be provided only at disproportionate cost. We estimate that profits were roughly £650,000 a year before production tailed off leading up to the ban.
