§ 72. Mr. R. Edwardsasked the Minister of Transport whether he will consider the need for amendment of Section 135 of the Highways Act, 1959, which provides for a fine not exceeding 5s. in respect of each animal straying on a highway, with a view to increasing this penalty.
§ Mr. MarplesI agree that this penalty is out of date and I will consider a change when a suitable opportunity occurs.
