§ 26. Lieut.-Colonel MOOREasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the existence of a Fun Fair Zoo in Coventry Street; and if he is satisfied that the accommodation provided for the animals and the conditions under which they are exhibited are satisfactory?
§ Sir J. GILMOURMy attention has not previously been called to the existence of this zoo, but the Commissioner of Police informs me that the police have recently visited the place and found nothing to justify any action by them in the matter. I understand that frequent visits are made by inspectors of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and any suggestions made by the inspectors are fully carried out by the management of the zoo.
