HC Deb 27 July 1922 vol 157 c683
47. Colonel Sir C. YATE

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if the Wild Birds' Protection Bill, which it was hoped would be introduced soon after Whitsuntide, will be introduced before the House adjourns for the Summer Recess?

Mr. SHORTT

The consideration of this Bill by the Advisory Committee has taken longer than anticipated, and I am afraid the answer to the question is in the negative.
