HC Deb 18 February 1924 vol 169 cc1325-6W
Sir H. BR ITTAIN

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will do what he can to expedite the compulsory introduction of the humane killer into this country?

Mr. WHEATLEY

The matter will receive the consideration of the Government. As the hon. Member was informed in July last, any local authority can make the use of the "humane killer" compulsory in its own area, and over 100, including the London County Council, have already clone so.
