HC Deb 21 January 1918 vol 101 c686W
Sir GEORGE GREENWOOD

asked the Home Secretary whether the Metropolitan Police have been informed of the notice recently issued by the Controller of Horse Transport, in which the attention of those using horses is directed to the absolute need of lightening the normal loads drawn in view of the fact that the animals are now much less well fed; and, if not, will instructions be issued to the police, seeing that the Controller bases his appeal not only upon grounds of humanity, but also upon those relating to the economical use of horses engaged in transport work?

Sir G. CAVE

The attention of the Metropolitan Police has already been drawn to this notice.
