HC Deb 22 May 1911 vol 26 c20
Mr. KELLAWAY

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture, if he was aware of the growing extent to which the poultry-raising industry in this country way handicapped owing to the depredations of foxes; and whether the Board proposed to introduce legislation?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of AGRICULTURE (Sir E. Strachey)

I have no information which would indicate that the depredations of foxes are increasing. No complaints have been received by the Board.

Mr. KELLAWAY

Is the hon. Baronet aware that in the cases where the owners succeed in getting compensation the compensation is only adding insult to injury?
