Proceeding contribution from Peter Atkinson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 28 June 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Red Squirrel Population.
Red Squirrel Population
It is the other way round. The red squirrel likes conifers. They appear to prosper in conifers, perhaps because they are smaller than greys and are able to extract seeds from spruce trees and such, whereas the greys are bigger and perhaps more clumsy. The reds seem to do better with conifers, which is why Kielder forest, for example, is going to be a reserve.
