HC Deb 10 November 1975 vol 899 cc524-5W
Miss Fookes

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will propose banning the use of lead pellets in their present form for shooting wildfowl, in the light of the report by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds on the death of birds by lead poisoning.

Dr. Summerskill

We are not satisfied on the present limited evidence that such a step would be justified.
