§ Mr. Matthew TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what estimate he has made of the distance from St. Kilda that the protected seabird populations of gannets, fulmars, puffins, Leach's petrels, Storm petrels and Manx shearwaters feed. [59375]
§ Mr. MacdonaldI am advised by Scottish Natural Heritage that most birds from St. Kilda feed within 55km of the islands during the breeding season. They range throughout the Atlantic at other times of the year.
