HC Deb 18 January 1988 vol 125 cc558-9W
Mr. Meale

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make extra resources available in the next financial year to local authorities for the provision of dog warden schemes in their areas; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Moynihan

The rate support grant report (England) 1988–89 was approved by the House on 9 December. It is for local authorities themselves to decide on the provision of individual services in the light of this and their view of local needs and circumstances and having regard to statutory obligations.
