HC Deb 21 June 1921 vol 143 c1077
38. Sir WALTER de FRECE

asked the Home Secretary if it has been decided to hold an inquiry into the whole question of the training and exhibition of performing animals; and, if so, whether, as the methods are similar, this will embrace the use of animals with circuses, theatrical performances, tournaments, street shows, and Punch and Judy displays?

Sir J. BAIRD

The question of the appointment of a Select Committee and of the terms of reference for such Committee is at present under consideration.
