§ 90. Sir T. Beamishasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is aware of the serious damage to wild life caused by the uninformed and indiscriminate use of cutting machines and weed killers along hedgerows; and if he will advise farmers and landowners of the long-term harm resulting from this bad farming practice.
§ Mr. John MackieI would deprecate the uninformed and indiscriminate use of cutting machines and weed killers along hedgerows but I am not aware that this is significant or that there is any serious danger to wild life.
