HC Deb 03 November 1976 vol 918 c627W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement on the health hazard of the keeping of pets.

Mr. Moyle

I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of a leaflet "You and your pet", issued by the Health Education Council, outlining the risks to health. It gives advice on ways of reducing the risks, which can be slight if certain rules of hygiene and care are followed.
