HC Deb 13 June 1977 vol 933 cc9-10W
Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Attorney-General if he will refer to the Law Commission for rationalisation and consolidation all wildlife conservation legislation.

Mr. Denis Howell

I have been asked to reply.

I am aware of the suggestions that have been made for the rationalisation and consolidation of wildlife conservation legislation, and my Department is already in touch with the Nature Conservancy Council about the need for and practicability of such a measure. I do not con- sider that a reference to the Law Commission is required at the present time.
