§ Mr. JOWETTasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether owners of dogs were, in some cases, relieved from payment for dog licences; and, if so, whether he could see his way to extend the same privilege to watchmen who at present pay the cost of licences for dogs which are necessary for their personal protection out of their earnings?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEExemption from dog licence duty is provided by statute in the case of a dog kept and used solely by a blind person for his or her guidance, and in the case of dogs kept 2719W and used solely for the purpose of tending sheep or cattle on a farm, or in the exercise of the calling or occupation of a shepherd. I do not see my way to take any action with a view to the extension of these exemptions.
