§ 22. Major Anstruther-Grayasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will make a further statement regarding the Caldra system of netting rabbits.
§ The Joint Under-Secretary of State for Scotland (Mr. McNair Snadden)Bad weather unfortunately prevented Sir Eric de la Rue from giving officials apractical demonstration of his method of netting rabbits. He did, however, show them how his equipment is used, and they have reported to my right hon. Friend that the Caldra method would be effective on suitable ground. My right hon. Friend is grateful to Sir Eric for his enterprise, and the Department of Agriculture will do what they can to publicise his technique.
