Dogs Fouling Footways

HC Deb 29 July 1971 vol 822 cc158-9W

65. Sir D. Walker-Smith

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has studied the decision of a Divisional Court that the offence of fouling a footway does not extend to grass verges; and whether in consequence he will redraft the model byelaws, "Dogs Fouling Footways", so as to extend it to include grass verges.

Mr. Carlisle

My right hon. Friend is reviewing the terms of the model byelaw in the light of the Divisional Court's decision.
