Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Earl Attlee (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 23 February 2009.


Airports: Canada Geese

Question
My Lords, do the authorities have sufficient powers to control the Canada geese population outside the immediate vicinity of the aerodrome?
Answer

My Lords, yes, we do believe that we have sufficient powers to do so; the bird control teams to which I have referred work in close partnership not only with the airports concerned but also with local landowners.
