§ Mr. Templeasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he has received a report from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds on the subject of the importation of pickled birds from Cyprus; and whether he will consider a ban on the import of pickled birds into the United Kingdom.
§ Sir G. HoweI am not convinced at this stage that a ban is desirable or feasible but the matter is still being studied in the light of the report and other factors.
