asked the Undersecretary of State to the Air Ministry, in view of the official report that sixty-four dogs had been illegally imported, what precautions are taken to guard against dogs kept in an aerodrome being infected with rabies in the event of a dog being imported?

The irregular importation of dogs is strictly forbidden, and under existing Orders should be impossible. I am sending my hon. and gallant Friend a copy of the Order.
