§ Sir Richard Glynasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he is taking to exterminate the large numbers of rabbits now based on disused railway embankments and cuttings and which are causing damage in North Dorset and other rural areas.
§ Mr. John MackieI am not aware of any large-scale rabbit infestations on railway land in North Dorset or elsewhere, but if the hon. and gallant Member car give me specific information I will investigate it. The responsibility for controlling rabbits rests with the occupiers of land.
