HC Deb 08 July 1937 vol 326 c573W
Mr. T. Morris

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he has any evidence to show the extent to which the grey squirrel has invaded Wales?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

No official survey of the range of the grey squirrel in Great Britain has been made but from an article by Mr. A. D. Middleton, of the Bureau of Animal Population, Oxford, in the Journal of Animal Ecology for November, 1935, it appears that the animal had then been reported in a small area of North Wales contiguous to Cheshire.
