§ Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domerasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they intend to review the Deer Act 1991 and implement the recommendations of the Savage report. [HL304]
§ Lord WhittyThe Government have no plans to review the Deer Act 1991. The Government understand that the Savage report was commissioned by the National Trust. It is therefore for the National Trust to decide what action it wishes to take on the report's recommendations. The Government have given support to the deer initiative and believe that local deer management groups have an important role in deer management.
