HC Deb 12 November 1940 vol 365 c1601W
Mr. Hannah

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether his attention has been called to the recent increase in the number of grey squirrels; and what action does he propose to eradicate these pests?

Mr. T. Williams

The answer to the first part of the Question is in the negative. If the hon. Member will furnish my right hon. Friend with particulars of any district in which grey squirrels are increasing and causing serious damage, he will make inquiries and consider whether any action is necessary under the Defence Regulations.
