HC Deb 17 June 1948 vol 452 c69W
56. Mr. Skeffington-Lodge

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department which counties do not now fully protect the green plover and its eggs all the year round; and whether, owing to the usefulness of this bird, he will request local authorities to observe uniformity by general preservation throughout the British Isles.

Mr. Ede

The green plover and its eggs are already protected or are in course of being protected in every county in England and Wales except Herefordshire.
