PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
NEW FOREST PONIES (26 February 1998)
Motion Details
That this House notes with concern the trade in exporting New Forest ponies to France for meat, and that many dealers take these ponies on 1,000 mile journeys around Britain to Stranraer to be shipped to Southern Ireland and then to France to avoid the requirement for export licences; congratulates the Daily Echo for exposing this trade; and calls on the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to act now to crack down on this trade.
