HC Deb 31 July 1964 vol 699 c457W
Commander Kerans

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will introduce legislation to empower him to supervise the slaughter of seals in the Wash and elsewhere, in view of the distress caused to residents and holidaymakers.

Mr. Soames

I am not at present satisfied that it would be practicable to legislate along the lines suggested by my hon. Friend.
