Mr. Wilson

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what plans he has to amend legislation or procedure in order to improve the detection and conviction rate for offences involving the illegal killing of protected wildlife in Scotland; and if he will make a statement.

Sir Hector Monro

None. I do not consider that there is any need to amend legislation or procedures in Scotland at present. All necessary powers are available.

Mr. Wilson

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what central record is available to the Government of the illegal killing of protected birds in Scotland, other than those killed by poisons.

This information is not held centrally.
