§ 92. Mr. Jannerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that no veterinary expert has yet been appointed to the advisory committee set up under the Protection of Birds Act, 1954; and whether, in view of the importance of such appointment, he will, in order to ensure an adequately scientific approach to the protection of birds, arrange to have the deficiency made good at an early date.
§ Major Lloyd-GeorgeI considered this matter carefully before appointing76W the members of the advisory committee, and it did not seem to me that there were sufficient grounds for appointing a veterinary surgeon. I see no reason to alter this decision. I am grateful to the eminent ornithologists and others who have agreed to serve on the committee, and I have every confidence in their scientific competence.
