Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Peter Bottomley (Conservative). It was answered by Maria Eagle (Labour) on Wednesday, 23 May 2007 on behalf of the Northern Ireland Office.
Wildlife Protection
- Question
- What recent discussions he has had at a European level on the protection of winter quarters of whooper swans potentially affected by road proposals.
- Answer
-
Following the restoration of devolution on 8 May, I can now tell the hon. Gentleman that roads are now devolved, and whooper swans are devolved too. The hon. Gentleman asks about recent discussions at European level; as a Liverpool MP, the only discussions that I am really interested in having at European level today are about Liver birds rather than whooper swans—and specifically about how well the Reds will do in Athens tonight.
