HC Deb 15 June 1948 vol 452 cc31-2W
72. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning whether he has now considered the recommendations of the National Parks Committee and the special committee on Wild Life Conservation; whether it is his intention to prohibit all forms of hunting and other methods of unnecessary destruction of animal and bird life in national native and reserved areas and in the national parks as proposed in the Report on the Conservation of Nature; and what steps he is taking to secure this result.

Mr. King

My right hon. Friend regrets that he cannot add anything to the reply given to a similar question by my hon. Friend on 28th October 1947, though he would call attention to the reply given by the Lord President of the Council to a question asked by the hon. Member for Twickenham (Mr. Keeling) on 29th April of this year.
