Paul Holmes: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what estimate has been made of the amount of
illegal ivory sold in the United Kingdom through the antiques trade in each of the last five years; and if she will make a
statement. [152671]
Mr. Morley: We have made no such estimates. If we were given evidence that illegal ivory was being sold through the antiques trade
we would ask the appropriate enforcement authorities to investigate any allegations that are brought to our attention.
All imports, re-exports and sales of antique ivory are controlled under the appropriate EC regulations, and permits and certificates
are not issued unless we are satisfied as to their origin. In addition, my Department, HM Customs and Excise and the police, along
with non- governmental organisations such as LAPADA (the Association of Art and Antique Dealers), work together to increase public
awareness of the wildlife trade controls.
