HL Deb 29 January 2003 vol 643 c165WA
Baroness Golding

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether bodies in Scotland have been consulted with regard to the effectiveness of trapping and shooting mink in the Western Isles. [HL1155]

Lord Whitty

This is a devolved issue to the Scottish Executive but I understand that the work in the Western Isles is part of the Hebridean Mink Project. This is a five-year project funded by a partnership of EU-Life III, nature funds, Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), Comhairle Nan Eilean Sian, Western Isles Enterprise, Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, Scotland, the Scottish Executive and Defra's Central Science Laboratory (CSL).
