    BBC Radio Humberside

    East Yorkshire MP Sir Greg Knight is calling on the government to launch an inquiry into the sale of illegal ivory by antiques dealers. 

    Only ivory dating from before 1947 can be sold legally in the UK, but the MP thinks some dealers are selling more modern ivory, and passing it off as antiques - something he says is encouraging poachers to kill endangered elephants.

    Thousands of the animals are killed illegally for their ivory every year.
