HC Deb 08 February 1984 vol 53 cc654-5W
45. Mr. Farr

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what proposals he has to amend the Wildlife and Countryside Act by extending the quarry list of birds that can be shot in season to include barnacle and brent geese.

Mr. Waldegrave

I have no proposals to add the barnacle and brent geese to part 1 of Schedule 2 to the Act —the quarry list. The Nature Conservancy Council is keeping both species under review, but advises against adding either to the list at present.
