HC Deb 12 October 1939 vol 352 cc525-6W
Mr. W. Roberts

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether any estimate of the number of rabbits in this country has been made; and whether he can take any steps to stimulate consumption in order to rid the country of this pest?

Sir R. Dorman-Smith

No estimate of the number of rabbits in this country is available. As regards the last part of the question, I will pass on the suggestion to my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster.
