HC Deb 28 July 1975 vol 896 cc374-5W
Mr. Weetch

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether, in view of the advance of rabies across Western Europe and the need to ensure maximum publicity regarding the dangers of importing live animals illegally, he will arrange to attach a fly leaf in all passports after 1st January containing a warning as to the dangers arising and penalties for such conduct.

Mr. Rowlands

I thank my hon. Friend for his suggestion, and I will certainly consult the Department concerned with a view to expanding the warning about the importation of live animals which already appears in the essential information booklet issued with all new and serviced passports.
