HC Deb 11 April 1968 vol 762 c298W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will appoint a committee to advise whether badgers and otters shall be listed as protected animals.

Mr. Ennals

The question of giving statutory protection to these and other wild animals is being kept under review, but I do not think an inquiry of this kind is necessary at the present time.
