§ 26. Mr. Hurdasked the Minister of Agriculture the average cost of destroying a grey squirrel in Hertfordshire and other counties where the agricultural executive committees pay in cartridges for the grey squirrels destroyed.
§ Sir T. DugdaleCounty agricultural executive committees do not actually pay in cartridges for grey squirrels destroyed, but they issue cartridges free to approved grey squirrel clubs. The average cost of destroying a grey squirrel in Hertfordshire last winter was about 6½d. I have no comparable figures for other counties.
