§ Sir P. Hurdasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the further evidence submitted to him of the losses of farmers and poultry keepers and the inability of local hunts under war conditions to keep down the fox population, he will give a general direction to county war agricultural committees throughout the country to initiate more effective means to remove foxes?
Mr. HudsonI am having inquiries made into the cases referred to by my hon. Friend and will consider whether any steps are necessary.
