HC Deb 05 February 1948 vol 446 c305W
66. Mr. Harrison

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to prevent the cruelty arising from the use of live bait in hare coursing and all similar sports.

Mr. Ede

I regret that I can hold out no prospect of time being found this Session for legislation on this subject.

67. Mr. Cocks

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the ban on mid-week greyhound racing with electric hares, he will impose a similar ban on the coursing of live hares at the Waterloo Cup meeting at Liverpool announced for Wednesday, 11th February, to Friday, 13th February.

Mr. Ede

No.
