§ 22. Mr. LOUIS SMITHasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the attack on Ernest George Dalton by an escaped tiger in a theatre at Sheffield; whether he will state the number of similar occurrences by circus and menagerie animals during the past five years; and whether any legislation to stop such occurrences is proposed?
§ Sir J. GILMOURI have seen a newspaper report of this case, and am causing further inquiries to be made.
§ Mr. SMITHWill the right hon. Gentleman carefully go into this matter, as the escape of this tiger has caused mental suffering to many citizens of Sheffield, even more severe than that which the whole country would experience 1809 if the policy of the hon. and learned Gentleman the Member for East Bristol (Sir S. Cripps) were adopted?
