HC Deb 05 February 1969 vol 777 cc87-8W
51. Mr. Clark Hutchison

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will seek the intensification of research into the development of a humane alternative to the gin trap.

Mr. Buchan

I am satisfied that research is being actively pursued in various fields towards finding some additional humane alternatives to the gin trap. I shall, however, continue to review what is being done by the Humane Traps Panel and in other research on different methods of control.
