HC Deb 11 November 1971 vol 825 c256W
85. Miss Fookes

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will seek powers substantially to increase the cost of dog licences to all except retirement pensioners.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

Although the dog licensing arrangements are at present under review, I do not envisage that existing powers in the Local Government Act, 1966, would come to be used in this way.
