HC Deb 03 July 1939 vol 349 cc937-8W
Colonel Sandeman Allen

asked the Home Secretary whether he is satisfied that the requisite safeguards to prevent the escape of dangerous animals are sufficiently stringent and are being properly carried out?

Sir S. Hoare

Those who keep dangerouse animals are responsible for taking such steps as are necessary for the protection of the public. The comparatively small number of escapes seems to show that this responsibility is fully appreciated and I do not think that any further safeguards are necessary or practicable.
