HC Deb 05 June 1918 vol 106 c1594W
Mr. PENNEFATHER

asked the Home Secretary if he will give instructions that police officers are to report upon any cases which come under their notice in which horses are being urged to perform work which is apparently beyond their strength in view of their condition, particularly where horses with heavy loads are being driven faster than at a walk?

Mr. BRACE

The police have already received instructions in the matter, and I have no doubt they are on the alert to deal with any cases of overworking which come to their notice.
