HC Deb 15 October 1968 vol 770 c95W
Mr. Iremonger

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement about the protection of badgers in connection with the current League against Cruel Sports campaign, details of which have been sent to him.

Mr. Ennals

The consensus of opinion among expert naturalists appears to be that badgers are common and not in need of special protection. My right hon. Friend has no legislative proposals in mind at present.
