HC Deb 27 January 1958 vol 581 c4W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Minister of Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will take steps to make the regulations regarding destruction of rabbits more effective, as not all occupiers of land are as fully co-operative in this problem as they might be, and some are not likely to do anything unless an example is made.

Mr. John Hare

My county agricultural executive committees have been reminded of the need for making the fullest use, whenever necessary, of default powers under the Pests Act, 1954, and have been asked to let me know of cases where prosecution should be considered.
