HC Deb 05 November 1969 vol 790 c127W
Sir Richard Glyn

asked the Minister of Agriculture, fisheries and Food when the regulations affecting quarantine for dogs were last materially altered; and what form this alteration took.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

1918 when the quarantine period, which had been reduced to four months in 1914, reverted to six months.

Sir Richard Glyn

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when the period of six months quarantine for dogs was first imposed in Great Britain.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

1897

Sir Richard Glyn

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many rats were killed in his special drive against susceptible wild life in the Camberley area.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

The special operation for rat control being undertaken by the local authority began on 28th October and can be expected to go on for two or three weeks. With most rat treatments only a very small proportion of animals killed can be recovered and it is not therefore possible to say how many rats have been killed in the Camberley area.
