HC Deb 07 June 1951 vol 488 cc1220-1
57. Lieut.-Colonel Sir Thomas Moore

asked the Minister of Agriculture what information he has received from the county agricultural committees or other sources regarding the number of animals or birds found injured though alive as a result of the use of gin traps.

Mr. T. Williams

No figures of this kind are available.

Sir T. Moore

But is not the right hon. Gentleman conscious that there is general abhorrence at the use of these gin traps? Is he not willing to find an alternative method?

Mr. Williams

That is a totally different question from the one on the Order Paper.
