§ 94. Mr. Challenasked the Secretary of State for War for what reason the Services quarantine scheme has been terminated; and what arrangements will be made in future to assist Service personnel who desire to bring back dogs to this country.
§ Mr. ShinwellThis scheme was intended primarily for the peak period of demobilisation, which is now passed. It has been necessary to terminate it on account of the need to save manpower. It is considered that the normal civilian quarantine facilities should be adequate to meet the future demands of Service personnel as well as civilians.
