HC Deb 14 July 1970 vol 803 c174W
75. Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will introduce legislation to prohibit the hunting of otters throughout England and Wales, in view of the fact that the number of wild otters has been much reduced in recent years.

Mr. Carlisle

No. My right hon. Friend's information is that this species is widely distributed in England and Wales.
