HC Deb 18 January 1944 vol 396 cc53-4W
Wing-Commander Grant-Ferris

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that excellent results have been obtained by the use of police dogs for guarding such places as dumps against pilfering; and what steps are being taken to extend the scheme especially as the South African personnel who were to be used for handling are not now available.

Sir J. Grigg

Many dogs have already been provided for guarding places of importance both in the United Kingdom and overseas. Most of the men who handle dogs come from this country and I do not understand my hon. and gallant Friend's reference to South African personnel.
