HC Deb 17 January 1918 vol 101 cc519-20W
Mr. KING

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the practice of rabbit-coursing at Keynsham, near Bristol; whether he is aware of the opposition of the residents to this practice and to the numbers of taxicabs and motors bringing persons to this sport; and whether he has taken any action in the matter?

Sir G. CAVE

I have received representations from the Keynsham Parish Council on this subject, and have forwarded them to the Chief Constable. The use of motor cars for attending such meetings has been prohibited by the Motor Spirit (Consolidation) and Gas Restriction Order, which came into force on the 10th instant.
