HC Deb 07 August 1941 vol 373 c2093
64. Sir J. Mellor

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he has decided the dates between which pheasants may be shot?

Mr. Hudson

The matter is under consideration, but no decision has yet been reached.

Sir J. Mellor

Will my right hon. Friend consider allowing a longer season for cocks than for hens, in view of the fact that there is always a surplus of cocks?

Mr. Hudson

I have said that the matter is under consideration.
