§ Mr. HinchliffeTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what action he intends to take following the evidence on cat thefts contained in the recent
Petwatch special report, a copy of which he has been sent;
(2) which police forces record reported losses of cats.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggIt is for the chief officers to decide how reports of stolen or missing property are recorded. We are not persuaded that the information contained in the National Petwatch report necessitates any new action on cat theft.
