HC Deb 03 July 1934 vol 291 cc1755-6W
Sir R. GOWER

asked the Home Secretary whether, having regard to the large number of cases of poisoning dogs and other animals which have occurred recently, he will consider the desirability of further restricting, by the introduction of legislation or otherwise, the sale of poisonous substances?

Sir J. GILMOUR

It is already an offence punishable by a fine not exceeding £10 to put any poison or poisoned food or liquid in any place to which dogs and other domestic animals have access, and I have no information that would lead me to believe that any amendment of the law in this respect is necessary.
