HC Deb 12 November 1953 vol 520 c65W
79. Mr. M. Lindsay

asked the Minister of Agriculture how long the field trials of the Imbra humane rabbit trap are expected to take.

83. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Minister of Agriculture what progress has been made in his tests of the new trap for the destruction of rabbits; and when it will be introduced on a wholesale scale.

Sir T. Dugdale

Full-scale tests only started after the harvest and it would be premature to draw any conclusions at this stage. As I said in reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Aylesbury (Mr. Summers) on 25th June, I hope to have useful results by the beginning of next year.
