HC Deb 29 January 1953 vol 510 c143W
77. Mr. Wyatt

asked the Minister of Health the procedure for notifying the police when animals are at large carrying diseases dangerous to human life.

Mr. Iain Macleod

I understand that the hon. Member means parrots, in which case there is no procedure for notifying the police. The Minister of Agriculture has made Orders under the Diseases of Animals Act, 1950, which will enable him to deal with diseased parrots.
