HC Deb 05 July 1951 vol 489 c233W
47. Mr. Russell

asked the Minister of Agriculture what steps he proposes to take to implement the recommendation in the Report of the Committee on Cruelty to Wild Animals, that the use of the gin trap should be banned by law in this country and that he should approve for use only traps which will catch and kill animals without causing unnecessary suffering.

Mr. Champion

The recommendation is being considered in consultation with the interests mainly concerned.
