§ Mr. Peter Freemanasked the Minister of Agriculture if he will institute either a compulsory or voluntary pension scheme whereby horses employed by local authorities, the Railway Executive and other industrial users of horses, farmers and race-horse owners, can be assured of a reasonable period of retirement in suitable homes of rest after service to their owners and to the community.
§ Sir T. DugdaleNo. I think that this should be the responsibility of owners of horses and not of the Government.
