§ Mr. Linsteadasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will invite the Agriculture Research Council or other appropriate body to investigate the possibility of devising a humane trap as an alternative to the steel trap now permitted for the taking of rabbits.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsCertain humanitarian organisations have already devoted a good deal of attention to the production of a humane rabbit trap as an alternative to the steel trap. Such a trap has recently been produced, and its possibilities in practice are being investigated. My Department has made arrangements for a full-scale trial to take place at an early date.
