§ 44. Lieut.-Colonel Sir Thomas Mooreasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he has taken, or proposes to take, to implement the recommendations of the Royal Commission on Cruelty to Wild Animals.
§ Sir D. Maxwell FyfeThe recommendations of the Committee about deer poaching are substantially implemented in the Poaching of Deer (Scotland) Bill, which has recently received a Second Reading in another place. The other recommendations are still under consideration.
§ Sir T. MooreWill my right hon. and learned Friend bear in mind that there is a large number of people, both for and against the Report, who are exceedingly anxious that one or other of its recommendations, apart from the deer protection, should be brought into effect? Will he, therefore, expedite consideration of the matter?
§ Sir D. Maxwell FyfeI will certainly continue and expand the consideration.
