The information sought by the Deputy is set out in the table. The names of the circuses to which the animals were ultimately destined have been withheld due to the commercial nature of the information sought.

9/1/2006 | 2 Elephants | Italy |
27/1/2006 | 1 African Elephant | Germany |
2/6/2006 | 1 Rhino | Northern Ireland |
