§ Earl WINTERTONasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture if any relaxation to the Rabies Order can be made in the case of greyhounds when used for coursing, especially in view of the fact that such animals, being always under control, are unlikely to be affected by the disease?
Sir A. BOSCAWENGreyhounds may be used for coursing, unmuzzled, in any part of a scheduled district outside the inner controlled area. This exemption does not, however, permit of greyhounds being moved out of the controlled district for coursing, or of any greyhound brought into a controlled district for that purpose being moved out again. No exemption from restrictions can be given in the case of greyhounds in an inner controlled or dangerous area.
