HC Deb 30 May 1918 vol 106 cc964-5
41. Mr. PENNEFATHER

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether it is proposed to make any alteration in regard to the control of horse transport, in view of the greatly increased mortality among working horses as a result of overworking and underfeeding?

Mr. WARDLE

The question of the condition of the town horses is under consideration, and the Controller of Horse Transport has in contemplation the making of certain Regulations on the subject both of the feeding and the use of horses.
