HC Deb 17 November 1938 vol 341 c1081W
Mr. W. R. Duckworth

asked the Home Secretary whether he will consider introducing legislation to prohibit the attaching of dogs to fast-moving vehicles, in view of the suffering often thereby caused?

Sir S. Hoare

I am advised that the existing law in the Protection of Animals Act, 1911, would cover any such practice as that referred to by my hon. Friend if it involves suffering to the animal.
