HC Deb 06 May 1969 vol 783 c48W
49. Sir B. Janner

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government, whether he will seek to amend section 92(1)(b) of the Public Health Act 1936, which provides that a statutory nuisance shall include any animal kept in such a place or manner as to be prejudicial to health or a nuisance, so that the keeping of dangerous wild animals will be treated as a nuisance under this section.

Mr. Skeffington

No. I could not accept that the keeping of dangerous wild animals must necessarily constitute a statutory public nuisance.
