HC Deb 24 February 1955 vol 537 c1440
33. Lady Tweedsmnir

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has compiled a list of common wild birds under Section 2 (4) (c) of the Protection of Birds Act, 1954.

Major Lloyd-George

I have this matter under urgent consideration in consultation with my Advisory Committee, but the list is not yet ready for publication.

Lady Tweedsmuir

Does my right hon. and gallant Friend realise that these lists will have to be circulated to local authorities, at any rate within the next month? Will he urge a speedy decision?

Major Lloyd-George

Yes, most certainly. I can promise my hon. Friend that the lists will be published very soon.
