HC Deb 08 July 1964 vol 698 c112W
72. Mr. R. Edwards

asked 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. Marples

I agree that this penalty is out of date and I will consider a change when a suitable opportunity occurs.
