§ 63. Mr. WILKIEasked the Lord Advocate whether, in view of the shortage of beef and the price of all kinds of fish, steps have been or will be taken to modify the Game Laws, thereby making available for human consumption a larger supply of rabbits, hares, and game?
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for SCOTLAND (Mr. Morison)A number of Orders have been made by the Board of Agriculture for Scotland under powers contained in the Defence of the Realm Regulations, which Orders, although designed primarily for the protection of crops, have incidentally increased the amount of rabbits, hares, and game available for food. This policy will be continued, and, if necessary, extended.
