HC Deb 17 April 1975 vol 890 c134W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he is satisfied that there are adequate special precautions, and sufficient legal penalties, to meet the danger of rabies from smuggled dogs.

Mr. Strang

Yes. The new import order which came into operation on 5th February 1975 provides a sound basis for preventing the entry into Great Britain of rabies by means of smuggled animals.
