HC Deb 26 February 1975 vol 887 cc127-8W
15. Sir J. Eden

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress has been made by his Department's working party investigating the control of pets; and when it is expected to report.

Mr. Oakes

The Department's Working Party on Dogs, which is presumably the one the right hon. Gentleman has in mind, has identified the main problem areas and is now consulting interested bodies and individuals so that their views can be taken into account in preparing its report. The working party hopes to report by the end of the year.
