HC Deb 07 June 1934 vol 290 c1091W
Sir R. GOWER

asked the Home Secretary whether he has yet considered the advertisement of the promoters of the rodeo about to be held at the White City, a copy of which has been sent to him, in which the rounding-up of wild charging steers is held out as a feature; and whether, having regard to the fact that none of the steers recently imported into this country for employment in the rodeo have evinced any signs of wildness and have been managed and controlled without difficulty, he has any statement to make?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I have seen the advertisement which my hon. Friend has sent to me. As the performance has not yet taken place, it is impossible to say whether it is likely to fulfil the description given in the advertisement, but the promoters are well aware of the provisions of recent legislation on the subject.
