HC Deb 20 December 1965 vol 722 cc366-7W
Mr. Lubbock

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the gross annual revenue from dog licences; and what is the annual cost of collection.

Mr. MacDermot

Receipts from dog licences in the financial year 1964–65 were £1,073,933. In Scotland the cost of administration is estimated to be about 25 per cent. to 30 per cent. of receipts. In England and Wales dog licences are administered by local authorities, and no estimate of the cost of collection is available.
