HC Deb 10 November 1960 vol 629 c71W
66. Mr. Parker

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he intends to remove swans from the list of protected birds.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I have asked the Advisory Committee on the Protection of Birds for advice on a recent request by the Norfolk and East Suffolk County Councils that the mute swan should be deprived of protection in their areas. Meanwhile I have no statement to make.
