I have no information to confirm the (statement made in the first part of the question. I am informed that Neunzer arrived in this country on 26th August, 1932, and was registered at Leeds on 13th September, 1932, in respect of a lion, the particulars of his registration being amended on 3rd November, 1932. His original registration covered the training of animals on tour and I am informed that he interpreted this registration as authorising the training of animals at Chessington, Surrey, where he is now employed. On a recent application to the Surrey County Council he was directed to apply to the Leeds authority and he has now obtained an amended certificate of registration from that authority covering the training quarters at Chessington. I see no ground for any action on my part.
