HC Deb 23 January 1967 vol 739 cc204-5W
Sir Richard Glyn

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he is satisfied that he has sufficient powers to control all aspects of pony breeding in England and Wales; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. John Mackie

My right hon. Friend's powers in this field relate to the licensing of stallions, and he is satisfied that they are adequate for this purpose. He sees no grounds for seeking to extend them to control other aspects of pony breeding.
