Partridges and Pheasants
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many (a) pheasants and (b) partridges were kept in raised laying cages for the breeding of game birds for sporting purposes in England and Wales in each of the last 5 years.
- Answer
-
The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) does not hold information on pheasants and partridges kept in raised laying cages for the breeding of game birds for sporting purposes in England and Wales. APHA does not hold this information for Bettws Hall Game Farm.
APHA does not maintain year on year statistics for game farms. APHA only takes a register of the number of birds usually kept on a holding, which is supplied at the time of registration by the owner/keeper of the birds.
