HL Deb 17 November 1997 vol 583 c68WA
Lord Pearson of Rannoch

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether their current review of animal by-products legislation will allow the practice of gralloching deer on the hill to continue, together with other normal pest control and sporting activities which involve animal by-products; or whether it may forbid any of these activities, and if so which ones, and why.

Lord Donoughue

Decisions on the scope of any new animal by-products legislation resulting from the review will not be taken until all the comments received in response to the consultation have been fully considered. Further consultation will then take place on draft legislation.
