HC Deb 31 May 1918 vol 106 c1129

(2) The Board shall, on application being made in the prescribed manner, and on compliance with the prescribed conditions as to inspection and examination, grant to the owner of any stallion a licence in the prescribed form in respect of the stallion and also, if so requested, a certified copy thereof on payment of such fee (not exceeding one guinea) as may be prescribed:

Provided that the Board may refuse to grant a licence and may revoke or suspend a licence in respect of a stallion if it appears to the Board that the stallion—

(d) is calculated, if used for stud purposes, to injure the breed of horses.

Mr. PROTHERO

I beg to move at the end of Sub-section (2), paragraph (d), to insert the words "by reason of its defective conformation or physique."

These are limiting words, and the desire of the House was rather in favour of such limitation.

Amendment agreed to.
