Conditions of Licence.
The Board may insert in any Licence authorizing the landing of a dog such conditions as they think necessary or desirable for the following purposes-
(a.) for prescribing and regulating the detention and isolation of the dog by and at the expense of its owner for any period not exceeding six months at a place to be provided for that purpose by such owner and to be described in the Licence; or
(b.) for regulating the movement of the dog to such place of detention and its movement during the period of detention
prescribed by the Licence.
A dog landed under the authority of snch a Licence shall be detained and isolated in accordance with the conditions
of such Licence, and shall not be moved in contravention of any such condition.
Restriction on Granting of Licences.
Au applicant for a Licence for the landing of a dog will be required to satisfy the Board that proper and suitablə arrangements can be made for such detention and isolation of the dog as appears to the Board to be necessary or desirable.
In order that as little incovenience as possible may be caused in the enforcement of the Order, the Board trust that local authorities will assist them by taking steps to make its contents known as widely as possible in their districts. The Board would invite ship-owners to co-operate with them by causing due notice to be given to passengers desirous of bringing dogs with them, of the conditions under which alone dogs will be permitted to be landed in Great Britain, and with this view the Board would suggest that ship-owners should instruct their agents abroad and the masters of their vessels to warn passengers, and prevent as far as possible the shipment of any dogs the owners of which may not have previously obtained the necessary Licence for their being landed."
