asked the Minister of Agriculture the number of live horses exported from this country to Northern Ireland during the last 12 months, giving the monthly figures for that period.

Mr. T. Williams:

As the reply involves a tabular statement I will, with permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the statement:

These figures exclude horses sent into Northern Ireland solely for shows and with circuses, as these horses eventually return to their country of origin.
