HC Deb 23 June 1924 vol 175 cc63-4W
Mr. LAMB

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether his attention has been directed to the importance attached by the farming community to the enactment of the Rabbits and Rooks Bill; whether the question of granting facilities for this Bill has received consideration in view of the support which it has from all parties; and, if so, with what result?

Mr. BUXTON

I am aware that farmers attach some importance to the Bill re- ferred to, but seeing that it has not yet been read a Second time and the Session is now far advanced, I regret that it is not possible to afford facilities for its passage.
