§ Mr. Goodladasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will seek to amend the Public Health Act so as to give occupants of privately owned accommodation protection against nuisance caused by pigeons, similar to the protection enjoyed by some council tenants under local authority regulations.
§ Mr. Denis HowellNo. Local authorities already have powers under the Public Health Acts to deal with nuisance caused either by the keeping of pigeons or by wild pigeons.
