HC Deb 05 March 1973 vol 852 c39W
Mr. Money

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what estimate she has made of trends in the badger population in the county of Suffolk; and whether she will make a statement.

Mrs. Thatcher

I have no figures about the badger population in particular areas, but I understand from the Nature Conservancy that there is no evidence to suggest that the badger population in the county as a whole is seriously threatened.
