§ 81. Mr. FREEMANasked the Minister of Agriculture whether all Crown lands are reserved as animal and bird sanctuaries; and, if not, will he consider what steps can be taken to secure that this shall be effective?
§ Mr. N. BUXTONWith the exception of Windsor Great Park, where birds and other animals are protected, almost all the Crown lands in rural areas are let for agricultural holdings, and I regret that it is impossible to adopt the suggestion put forward.
§ Mr. FREEMANCan the right hon. Gentleman say if hunting is permitted on any of these Crown lands?
§ Mr. BUXTONThere are no abnormal regulations in regard to hunting.
§ Mr. FREEMANIs hunting prevented on Crown lands, and will the right hon. Gentleman consider the desirability of preventing hunting on any Crown lands?
§ Mr. BUXTONThe hon. Member had better put down that question.
