MONKEYS
No export license appears to be necessary but B.O.A.C. have had to cancel air space, and diversion of plane to Dacca, as shippers, East Pakistan Development Corporation, have disappeared.'
Medical Research Council have asked for urgent help in securing export licenses for consignment of 300 rhesus monkeys from Dacca on 6th May.
2. Monkeys are being imported by Messrs. Zoologico, 65, Preston Road, Brighton who are approved agents of Medical Research Council. Exporters as East Pakistan Development Corporation, 195 Nawabar Road, Dacca. Monkeys have already been concentrated in Dacca and special arrangements made with B.O.A.C. for transport from Dacca by freighter on 6th May. Most urgent therefore that export licenses be obtained in time or whole exercise will fall through.
3. Monkeys are required for medical research purposes principally for urgent production of polio vaccine. We hope that no difficulty will be raised in the circumstances in securing the necessary export permit.
