HC Deb 05 April 1974 vol 871 c445W
Mr. Geraint Howells

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will take action to deal with the increased number of rabbits in Wales; and if he will support the suggestion of the Welsh Agricultural Organisation Society to establish pest control boards.

Mr. Moyle

Action to control rabbits is the responsibility of occupiers of the land concerned. I do not consider that the situation calls for compulsory measures on the lines suggested by the Welsh Agricultural Organisation Society.
