§ Mr. Woodhouseasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what would be the cost to the Exchequer of abolishing the licence fee for dogs.
§ Mr. MacDermotThe gross revenue from the dog licence fee in 1963–64 was £992,015 in England and Wales, where proceeds acrue to local authorities, and £75,647 in Scotland, where they accrue to the Exchequer. The loss on abolition of the fee would be of this order, though there would be some offsetting savings on costs of administration.
