Proceeding contribution from Baroness Byford (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 30 January 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill 2005-06.


Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill

I am grateful to the noble Baroness, Lady Farrington of Ribbleton, but I do not know that it does. The debate about where the accent should lie is the sort that one could have all night, and I certainly do not have a mind to do that. My noble friend Lord Rotherwick raises an interesting question about what one does to control muntjac, particularly in woodland areas. Certainly I have an amendment much later on to deal with squirrels—grey squirrels in particular. That is a similar problem and, in parts of England, it is becoming a very real problem. I digress, and time is short; I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 115 and 116 not moved.]
