HC Deb 22 February 1951 vol 484 c1454
51. Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Agriculture what steps are taken to keep down the rabbits in woodlands now under requisition by Government Departments.

Mr. T. Williams

Departments responsible for woodlands are co-operating with my Department, the National Farmers' Union and the Country Land Owners' Association in the county schemes for area rabbit control.

Mr. Bossom

Is the Minister aware that a number of woodlands in Kent are still under requisition and that no one takes any steps to see that the rabbits are kept down?

Mr. Williams

Perhaps the hon. Member will bring any particular cases he has in mind to my notice.
