Squirrels: Pest Control

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many people in England have been killed or injured during grey squirrel control with guns during the last decade.

Answer

This information is not held centrally. I can confirm that the Forestry Commission in England does not have any record of anyone being killed or injured during grey squirrel control with guns on the Public Forest Estate in the last decade. However, it does not hold any record of incidents elsewhere.
