Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Bradshaw (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Monday, 23 February 2009.
Airports: Canada Geese
- Question
- My Lords, the bird book in which I looked up Canada geese describes them as vagrant or feral. I think that that may also apply to muntjac deer, mink and the grey squirrel, to which my noble friend often refers. Do the Government have any real coherent policy for dealing with these pests, which are being imported into the country, of which wolves and beavers are apparently the latest examples?
- Answer
-
My Lords, I think that that question is a bit wide of the original Question. In so far as they pose a threat to planes taking off or landing, we will keep them all under control.
