HC Deb 24 July 1980 vol 989 cc335-6W
Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will consult with animal welfare organisations to ensure that adequate arrangements are made for prisoners' livestock and to establish arrangements, when necessary, for courts to draw the attention of committed persons to the provision of the Abandonment of Animals Act 1960.

Mr. Raison

We are not aware of the need for any action of this kind, but we shall be glad to consider any particular point that the hon. Member has in mind.
