§ Mr. OUTHWAITEasked the Secretary for Scotland whether it is proposed to permit during this winter the feeding of red deer with grain and potatoes on the sporting estates of Scotland?
§ Mr. MUNROI am not aware that the feeding of red deer with grain and potatoes is a usual practice on Scottish sporting estates. If the hon. Member 913W can refer me to cases where it is done, I should certainly consider whether the ample powers which exist to stop the practice should not be exercised. A circular letter to landlords dealing among other matters with the artificial tearing of game is on the point of issue.
