HC Deb 16 April 1946 vol 421 cc402-3W
78. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will instruct his officers that, when premises are being derequisitioned, suitable arrangements are made for the disposal of all pets, such as dogs and cats, who are otherwise left unattended and uncared for and to advise the R.S.P.C.A or the Dumb Friends League so that these animals may be removed without unnecessary suffering.

Mr. Lawson:

Instructions were issued some time ago that suitable arrangements must be made, with the assistance of the R.S.P.C.A., for the disposal of stray pets when premises are vacated. The attention of all concerned was drawn to these instructions as recently as last month.
