HC Deb 13 March 1941 vol 369 c1434W
Mrs. Adamson

asked the Ministry of Agriculture whether he will take steps to make available supplies of strychnine for the destruction of foxes on estates which have been as denuded of labour as to make impossible ordinary methods of dealing with this nuisance?

Mr. Hudson

I am not satisfied that there is sufficient justification in any circumstances for an amendment of the Poisons Rules to enable this dangerous poison to be purchased for the purpose of killing foxes.
