HC Deb 01 April 1981 vol 2 c129W
Mr. Speller

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to complete his review of the dog licence; and whether he is considering either the abolition of licences or substitution of the present 37½p by a higher figure to be collected every fourth or fifth year.

Mr. Giles Shaw

There is no formal review. The Government still have before them the report of the working party on dogs.

Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when the Government propose further to implement the proposals contained in the 1976 report of the working party on dogs; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Giles Shaw

The report of the working party on dogs is before the Government for consideration.
