HC Deb 27 October 1983 vol 47 c150W
Miss Fookes

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will ban the import of pit bulldogs.

Mr. Channon

No. However, under the Protection of Animals Act 1911 it is an offence to cause, procure or assist at the fighting or baiting of any animal. If my hon. Friend has any evidence that illegal activities are taking place, I would hope that she would make it available to the police.
