§ 21. Sir HARRY BRITTAINasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what are the first and last dates of the present close season for plover prevailing in Scotland; and whether he will consider making that season uniform?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for SCOTLAND (Sir John Gilmour)The close time varies between county and county. I shall be giad to send my hon. Friend a schedule showing the position, if he so desires. As regards the second part of the question, I do not wish to anticipate discussion on the Bill introduced by the hon. Member for Honiton (Sir C. Morrison-Bell), but it will be noted that that Bill is designed to secure a uniform close season for this and other birds according to their categories.
§ Sir H. BRITTAINWill the right hon. Gentleman do his best to see that included in this uniform close season is the much disputed farm at Erribol?
