HC Deb 17 February 1994 vol 237 c904W
Mr. John Carlisle

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will abolish the game licence system.

Mr. Charles Wardle

We are currently consulting interested groups on how far game licences continue to meet their original objective of combating poaching and enforcing the statutory close season and on whether there may be better means of achieving the same object.
