HC Deb 29 April 1981 vol 3 cc408-9W
Mr. Shersby

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to amend the Protection of Animals Act 1911 to prohibit the use of snares for trapping wild animals.

Mr. Raison

My right hon. Friend has no plans to amend the Act in this way. However, provision is made in clause 11 of the Wildlife and Countryside Bill to prohibit the use of self-locking snares.
