§ Sir T. Mooreasked the Minister of Agriculture what are the regulations governing the sending home or the bringing home of pet dogs by Servicemen overseas.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsThe regulations which govern the importation of dogs into Great Britain apply to all dogs, whether they belong to Servicemen or other persons. Those regulations require that every dog brought into Great Britain from anywhere outside the British Isles shall, on landing, be placed and kept, at the expense of its owner, in approved quarantine premises for a period of six months.
§ Mr. R. Morganasked the Secretary of State for War, since many overseas Servicemen wish to bring home pet dogs, what steps are being taken to bring to their notice the condition of six months' quarantine and the consequent expense.
§ Sir J. GriggAn Army Council Instruction was published in 1940 giving full information about bringing dogs into this country. A further instruction was issued on 2nd December of this year ordering units to repeat the original instruction in their unit orders.
