HC Deb 22 November 1994 vol 250 c66W
Mr. Morley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what plans he has to list timberwolf crossbreeds under the provisions of the Dangerous Animals Act 1976; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Atkins

Wolves and wolf hybrids are already listed on the schedule to the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976. A licence is required to keep any animal of a species listed on the schedule.

Mr. Morley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many timberwolf crossbreed dogs there are in England.

Mr. Atkins

The information is not held centrally since licensing under the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976 is the responsibility of district councils in England.
