Matters between horse breeding associations or societies that have a right to issue passports for horses and my Department are confidential and it would be inappropriate to comment on individual cases. However, the policy of my Department is to immediately investigate all written complaints, including, where appropriate, by the Special Investigation Unit of my Department.
