HC Deb 01 April 1982 vol 21 c153W
37. Mr. Thomas Cox

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the present regulations in force for the selling of animals in street markets.

Mr. Mayhew

The sale of animals as pets in street markets is regulated by the Pet Animals Act 1951, which makes it an offence except at a stall or barrow, licensed by the local authority, who may attach conditions to such licences.
