Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Berkeley (Labour). It was answered on Monday, 23 February 2009.


Airports: Canada Geese

Question
My Lords, surely the answer is to eat them. Does my noble friend not think that roast Canada goose sounds rather attractive? Surely the answer is to cull them much more effectively and allow them to be eaten and sold. Perhaps the whole process would then be cost-effective.
Answer

My Lords, my noble friend clearly has a virtuous circle in mind in terms of culling Canada geese, but our concern is simply to see that they keep well clear of the vicinity of airports.
