Mr. Houghtonasked the Minister of Works whether he is aware that the sticky-board method of catching mice recently employed by his Department in the office of His Majesty's Inspector of Taxes, 29, Camberwell Road, S.E.5, has been followed by a protest by the staff against the cruelty involved; and whether he will cause more humane methods of destruction to be used in future.
§ Mr. G. BrownNo. I am not aware of any protest and I would refer my hon.126W Friend to the reply given by my predecessor to the hon. Member for Ton-bridge (Mr. G. Williams), on 26th June of last year.
