HC Deb 26 May 1932 vol 266 cc565-6W
Mr. ROSBOTHAM

asked the Minister of Agriculture if his attention has been drawn to the damage caused by rooks to crops in many parts of the country; and will he see if anything can be done to minimise the loss sustained by farmers and smallholders?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I am aware that complaints are frequently made concerning the damage caused by rooks, but I have no power to take any action in the matter.
