§ 53. Mr. Murrayasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware of the dissatisfaction in the County of Durham about the present method of taking out dog licences; that many people have received intimation that unless they pay the mitigated penalties in the notice within ten days, a summons will be taken out against them; and if he will consider in future giving due notice to owners of dogs when their licence is due similar to the method adopted for wireless licence and Income Tax.
§ Sir S. CrippsCertain representations have been received on this matter from persons in the county of Durham. but the action taken by the county council is within their discretion and I am not in a position to intervene.
