§ Mr. Nobleasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what are the statutory restrictions regarding the keeping of a puma as a domestic pet; and whether he is satisfied with their effectiveness.
§ Dr. SummerskillThere are no restrictions which regulate the keeping as such, but it is an offence at common law to cause a public nuisance by keeping animals to the danger of the public. We are not satisfied on the information at present available that any further legislation is required.
