HC Deb 29 November 1957 vol 578 cc153-4W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in order to prevent rabbits from once more spreading through the countryside, if he will authorise night shooting of these animals by occupiers of land or persons authorised by them.

Mr. Godber

The rights of persons to shoot rabbits at night depend on the general law and on Section 6 of the Ground Game Act, 1880. My right hon. Friend has no jurisdiction in the matter.
