HC Deb 01 August 1957 vol 574 c232W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will impress on the agricultural executive committees the importance of carrying out their duty in prosecuting those owners who are responsible for allowing rabbits to breed on their land and are taking no steps to destroy them.

Mr. Godber

Yes. My right hon. Friend will not hesitate to take proceedings in suitable cases reported to him by the County Agricultural Executive Committees where persons wilfully ignore their statutory obligation to destroy rabbits.
