HC Deb 31 January 1952 vol 495 c47W
48. Mr. J. Rodgers

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will consider introducing further legislation to give the farming community greater protection from damage caused to livestock by straying dogs.

Sir T. Dugdale

Yes. I am considering whether we can introduce effective legislation that would help farmers with this difficult problem. The N.F.U. have put forward a number of proposals which have been examined by my Department, and which I am hoping to discuss with the Union in the very near future.
