HC Deb 27 November 1975 vol 901 c244W
Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to restrict the keeping of lions and other dangerous animals without proper safeguards.

Dr. Summerskill

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.
