Liberal Democrat MP, James Gray, will ride into Parliament tomorrow to draw 
attention to the debate over the live export of British horses and ponies for 
slaughter 
An MP is to exercise his right to ride a horse into Parliament for the first 
time since the beginning of the last century as a sign of his support for the 
Say NO to Live Exports campaign run by International League for the Protection 
of Horses (ILPH). 
James Gray, the Liberal Democrat member for North Wiltshire, will ride his 
horse through Carriage Gates into Parliament at 1.30pm tomorrow (Wednesday). His 
main aim is to highlight a Westminster Hall debate, which takes place 
tomorrow afternoon and deals with rising concerns over the resumption of the live 
export of British horses and ponies for slaughter to European abattoirs.
