§ Lord HOUGHTON of SOWERBYasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will now complete the ban on the use of strychnine for the destruction of animals by prohibiting forthwith the use of this cruel poison for the destruction of moles.
§ Lord STRABOLGIThis would not be contemplated until the Government are satisfied that there is some alternative and viable method of mole control which would not put other species of wildlife at risk.
