New Forest Ponies

EDM number 844 in 1997-98, proposed by Robert Syms on 26/02/1998.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 55 MPs.
